Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Highway — Legally Established — Petitioner to Construct Ford Crossing at His Expense. An order of the board of county commissioners establishing a highway, if otherwise regular, is not rendered void by the fact that it is made conditional upon the giving of a bond by the principal petitioner for the construction of a ford at the crossing of a stream, where such bond is given within a few days, and is approved by the board.</p> <p>2. Same — Notice to Owner to Open Road Sufficient. Where a road has been lawfully established by order of the board of county commissioners, its opening will not be enjoined in the following year because the notice which was shortly given to the owner to open it directed that the work should be done within thirty days, instead of allowing ninety days and until the ensuing first of January, as the law provides.</p>
