Syllabus

<p>Townships — Boundaries—Change of boundary line — Report of commissioners.</p> <p>A report of commissioners appointed in proceedings to change the boundary line between two townships contains a sufficiently explicit opinion as to the propriety of making the change, if the commissioners say, “that having been duly sworn we went over the proposed line, and the line, as it now is, viewed them, measured them, and took their courses, heard the statements of the persons present, favoring and opposed to the change, and made careful and diligent inquiry as to the propriety of making the change as prayed for. After careful consideration as aforesaid we find that the convenience of the inhabitants of said townships would be promoted by the alteration, of the line as prayed for, and therefore report to the court that in our opinion the line should be altered and we recommend the alteration as prayed as follows”: giving description, course and distance, accompanied by map.</p> <p>Such a report will not be set aside upon the dissenting view of one taxpayer.</p>
