Syllabus

<p>Road law — Supervisors—Meeting and deliberation of supervisors.</p> <p>Where a township has but two supervisors, they must honestly confer with each other, and fairly deliberate in the interest of the taxpayers before they attempt to bind the township by their action.</p> <p>One of two supervisors cannot bind the township by a contract for the entire reconstruction of the road for a lavge sum of money where it appeal’s that the supervisors never met on the ground, and did not discuss the extent, character or cost of the repairs to be made, or how the township was to provide for the payment of the same. The mere fact that one of the supervisors said to the other “ to go ahead and put the road in good repair, good condition, and he would stand by him in anything that he did,” is not sufficient to justify the second supervisor in incurring the expenses of the entire reconstruction of the road.</p>
