Kauffman, Jacob E. Burket and Dean W. Hileman, residents of Frankstown township, asking damages from the county of Blair for alleged injury to their lands by the rebuilding of a state road through them, Judge Marion D. Patterson this week appointed as viewers G. Nevin Dively.

Nelson Keim and Joseph M. Delozier. These petitioners allege that in the rebuilding of the state highway in 1929-30 known as route 260 and also- as U. S. route 22, which road I passes through their properties, much damage was done in changing the lines of the road which resulted in the changing of springs and water courses on the lands, causing flooding and other damage.

The viewers appointed will make an inspection of the lands, and after taking testimony, will make their recommendations. In the matter of J. M. and Elizabeth Brown, Logan township, who recently entered suit for alleged damage in the appropriation of a portion of their land, in the building of state route No. 55, a second petition has been filed for the appointment of viewers.

Judge Patterson formerly appointed as viewers, G. Nevin Dively, J. M. Delozier and Nelson Keim. In the second petition the plain tiffs ask for the appointment of other viewers, for the reason alleged, that the viewers first named were discharged by the court before any decree or award was filed.

Their request was granted, and the same viewers have been newly appointed, and will report their, findings to the next term of court.
