The former boundaries of Jefferson and Cicero, and the boundaries of the new Township of Madison, were adjusted, as follows . ordered " that the fol- lowing boundaries be known as Jefferson Township: Beginning at the south- west corner of Section 31. Township 21, Range 3 cast ; theoce east to the southeast corner of Sertiun 32, Township 21, Ranze # east ; thence north to the north boundary of the jurisdiction of the county ; thence west to the west line of said county ; thence south to the place of beginning." And the ful- lowing na
Cicero Township .- " Beginning at the southwest corner of Section 33, Township 21, Bange # caut ; theoce east to the southeast corner of Section 30, Township 21, Range 5 east; thence north to the north line of the juris- diction of the county ; thence west six miles ; thence south to the place of beginning." And
Madison Tenenship .- " Beginning at the southwest corner of Section 33 Township 21, Range 5 enst ; thence north to the north jurisdiction of the county ; theore enst to the east line of the county ; thence south to the south- enst corner of Section 32, Township 21, Range 6 east ; thence west to the place of beginning." These three townships comprised territory north of the county line, over which the jurisdiction of this county was extended by legis- lative authority, and which. nfierward, upon the organization of Tipton County, in May, 1811, became a part of and was included in the boundary of that county as prescribed by the legislature. The townships so organized embraced the same territorial limits south of the boundary of the " Old Miami Reserva- tivo," as the towoships of the same name in Tipton Coumy.
At the March session, 1850, citizens of Delaware and Clay Towoships peti- tioned for a new township, to be named Carmel Township, and to be bounded as follows: " All of Delaware Township west of White River, aod two miles off the west side of Clny Township." The petition was signed by eighty or ninety citizens of those townshijos. Accordingly the board ordered the township organized with the following boundaries: " All of Delaware Township on the east side of White River, and all that part of Clay Township that lies cast of a certain line dividing Sections 22 and 23, 27 and 26, 31 and 35, in Township 18 north, Range 3 enst, and Sections : and 2, 10 aod 11, io Township 17 north, Range 3 east." The board ordered an ele, tion to bo held in said oew township, at the town of Bethlehem, and in Delaware Township, enst of White River, in the town of Caroiel, on the first Monday in April, 1850, to elect Justices of the Peace, in each. At the follow -.
jog session, however, in June, 1850, the project of forming a new township, as proposed, was abandoned. The citizens of Clay and Delaware Townships having petitioned for a division of said townships at said session, " the board urdered that the township of Carmel, heretofore laid off, be rescinded, and that Delaware and Clay Town ships be re-located as they were before," which was done.
The June session, 1866, developed another proposition for the formation of a new township. During that session, " William Mckinstry, and others, presented a petition on behalf of the citizens of Fall Creek aod Delaware. Townships, asking for a new township." The mitter was continued for the session, when, at the meeting of the board in September following, it way again taken up, and the new township was proposed to be called " East Delaware." But, in the mean time, a strong remonstrance was presented, and the cise sommarily dismissed. Not satishal with the action had by the Com- missioners in disposing of the proposition above cited, the citizens of Delaware Township presented another petition, at the March session, 1875, asking for a division of that township, and that the territory thereof be divided, an I the parts attached to Clay and Fall Creek, the west part to Ciny, aod the cast part to Fall Creek. As before, the case was continued and taken under advise- ment, and at the June session following, not meeting with a satisfactory response from the parties interested, it was again dismissed
CHAPTER XI. ROAD SYSTEM.
The Old State Roads-More Recent County Roads-Gravel-Ronds- Bridges.
DIE first thoroughfares traversing this region in its primeval period were scarrely roads, in the striet sense of the term, having definite beginnings and terminis, but not otherwise having specific locations, passing through irregu lar routes fixed by convenience and maintained by the treessities of the traveling. community. yet communication generally with central settlements, primarily with principal Indian towns and villages. The first class of roads were more in the nature of traces, indicating the principal routes of travel, and chiefly traversed by the Indians, on foot or on their ponies, moving in single file, and hence were oot opened and made fraversible by vehicles, like the roadways of more recent construction. Frequently, however, when roads were projected according to the forms of law, and commissioners appointed to view, and, if practicable, locate and mark out the route, the locations were made along the general course of these traces, and subsequently cut ont and improved, necording to the demands of the times, for the convenient passage of wagons and other conveyances over them. In the early days of our history, roads were usually classified as township, county and State roads, according to Incal needs, and, in addition, roads located, improved and maintained by National authority. Cart-ways, for individual convenience, were especially lowal io their character, and, hence, were but eighteen feet in width. Town. ship roads, being of greater consequence, were made, varying in width from twenty-four to thirty fect, while county road», of still more general utility, were from thirty-three to forty feet in width. All these were located, marked and cut out under authority of the County Board, while those of greater magnitude were located, ete., under State or National authority. State roads were usually sixty feet in width, while the National nud Michigan roads were cut ont to a width of one hundred feet, and improved accordingly. Some of the main routes of travel through this county were surveyed and located as carly as 1827 and 1828, but those located at a more recent date, being now tho more accepted routes, will receive special mention here.
By the act of. the Legislature, approved February 10, 1831, the sum of 8100, of the fund known as the "3 per cent fund," was appropriated to ench of the counties of the State, for the maintenance and improvement of State roads within their respective limits, nod for the construction and repair of bridges, the removal of obstructions in navigable rivers, and other water- courses. For the purpose of managing and properly applying this fund to its legitimate uses, the Board of Commissieoers duing county business, was required to appoint, at noy regular session when necessary, o Commissioner, known as a " Commissinoer of the 3 per cent Fund, ' who, upon being so nppointed, was required to file " bond payable to the State of Indiana, in the penni sum of $800, conditioned that ho shall well and faithfully discharge his duties as auch Commissioner of the 3 per cent Fund for such county, by

applying the same according to the requisitions of the law, and for the per. formance of his duties as such Commissioner, generally, and * * also take an oath ur affirmation, that he will, to the best of his skill and ability, discharge such duties."
According to the provisions of Section 24 of that act, it was directed "that & HHt be appropriated in the County of Hamilton ; 8150 on the La Fay- ette State road, under the direction of the Commissioner heretofore appointed thereon ; 8150 on the Crawfordsville State road, to be appropriated under the direction of the Commissioner heretofure appointed thereon ; and $100 on the Winchester State road, and Wilburn Davis, Commissione, to appropriate the same "
The following are the principal State ronds in the county, with their date of location and improvement, and the Commissioners under whose authority the ruads were so located and the funds expended :
In 1838 William G. Vandoren was appointed a Commissioner of the 3 per cent fund, with instructions to appropriate the requisite funds in his hands toward opening, repairing and improving the State road from Strawtown, in this county, to Rochester, in Fulton County. His report, subsequently sub- mitted, showed that he had expended on this road in Hamilton County. the smin of 896, in 1835 and 1839.
The State roa I from C'u nberland to Noblesville, was authorized by an act of the Legislature, in 1838. The road was located in January, 1839, and soon after improved, under the direction of Iste Hurluck, the Commissioner appointed for the purpose.
By an act of the Legislature, in 1839, George Bowman and Frederick Lowe were appointed Commissioners to locate a State road from Clarkstown, in Boone County, by way of Boxleytown to the Pern State road. This road, also, was loented and opened during the summer and fall of the same year.
Along the same time, William Stoop was appointed to expend 850 of the & per cent found in this county, on the Indianapolis and Fort Wayne State road Also, Issar Hurlock was appointed by the County Board a Commis- sjoner to draw the 3 per cent fond due Hamilton County, and expend the same toward building any and all of the State roads in or leading through said county Francis Wellington was appointed an agent, during the year 1839, for the purpose of expending $20 of the 3 per cent fund of this county, on the Indisnapolis and Pendleton State road. The board also oppointed Samuel Pickerill an agent to expend certain moneys on the La Fayette and New Cas- the State road.
By an art of the Legislature, in 1839, Zeass Beck with was appointed an agent to locate a State road from Indianapolis, by way of Westfiekl and Straw- town, to the Peru State road. In like manner, the Noblesville and Pendleton State road was laid out and improved. the same year. By a similar art, passed in 1839, the La Fayette and Mourie State road was authorized, and M. Shop- hend and Isaac Armstrong were appointed Commissioners tu view and locate the same. The route was through Hamilton County, running by the way of Frankfort, in Clinton County. There were nineteen miles and two hundred and nineteen rods of that road in this county. In 1810, also, the Legislature made further appointments for the management of State roads. In this county, John T. Kinneman was appointed to locate a State road, along the line uf the county road leading from Indianapolis, through Germantown and Pendleton. The road through Hamilton County was accordingly located, and its location reported to the Board of County Commissioners at their January session.
At a later date, in 1843, a bill authorizing the location of the State road from Noblesville to Wabash, was passed, and James B. Matlock was appointed a Commissioner to locate the road Mr. Matlock declining to serve as such Commissioner, the Board of Commissioners of Wabash County appointed J. D. Cassatt, who reported the fact to the Hamilton County Board immediately thereafter. This road interverts the Peru and Strawtown road, un Hoek I'mni- rie, and runs thence south on said road to Strawtown and Noblesville, over the Pern and Indianapolis State road.
