Note regarding adoption of state line through sections 9 and 10, R. 1 W.

The center of the road through these sections was adopted as state line for the following reasons: (1) By certified copy of notes of 1837, survey by Andrew Porter, D. S., his line follows Indiana road for 11 Chains in west part of section 11 and for whole distance through sections 10 and 9 a total of 170.48 chains = 10,251.68 feet. (2) All property owners on each side of road pay taxes for property on north side to Michigan and on south side to Ohio. (3) See statement Claude P. Stevens of Waldron, Michigan herewith.

S. S. Gannett,

Morenci, Michigan.

Dear Sir:

Waldron, Michigan, July 31st, 1915.

Your letter to the County Clerk has been sent to me for a reply. In answer I would say that the center of the public road in sections 9 and 10, T. 9 S., R. 1 W., 1 miles south of Waldron is considered the dividing line between Michigan and Ohio. The state of Michigan has repaired the road and built the bridges for more than thirty years but how much longer I cannot tell.

Yours truly,

Original copy of above letter filed in field note book No. 2.

Claude F. Stevens,

Supervisor.

The only thing that conflicts with the above is the fact that measurements of connections of state line with land corners north and south, make the state line 71 feet south of center of road at west side of section 9 and approximately 116 feet south of center of road at east side of section 10.
