• 55 Ill. 115

Syllabus

<p>1. Highways—order establishing a highway. It is not essential to the validity of an order of commissioners of highways, or of the three supervisors who may act on an appeal from such commissioners, establishing a public highway, that the surveyor’s plat, which the law requires shall accompany his report to them of his survey of the route of the road, shall appear, from such order, to have been signed by the surveyor.</p> <p>2. Same—requisites of an order establishing a highway. It is only necessary to incorporate in such order so much of the surveyor’s report as is required to clearly indicate the courses and distances of the route of the road, and the land over which it will pass. The order need not state that the surveyor’s report was signed; neither is the surveyor’s plat required to be incorporated in the order. That is to accompany the order, and be filed therewith in the town clerk’s office.</p>
