Platt v. Towns of Milton
Supreme Court of Vermont
Platt v. Towns of Milton, 55 Vt. 490 (Vt. 1883)
Yeazey
Platt v. Towns of Milton
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
The petition prays for commissioners to be appointed to establish a highway extending into two adjoining towns. Its description is not limited to the crossing of a river by a bridge, but it describes an extended highway including as a part of it the crossing of a river between the two towns. Upon the face of the petition, the thing sought is a highway running into the towns, not simply “ a bridge over a stream between the towns.” The County Court, therefore, had jurisdiction under section 2969, R. L.
Judgment affirmed.
