To the Hon Court of Ordinary of Milton Co Ga
Greeting: We the undersigned petitioners desire that would order our county road leading from the Rogers settlement into the state road at Mr. Mortons to be turned, commencing at Hardin Millers and follow the old route up the east of the old Johnson house and by the north of Clinton Webbs, deceased and Melford Webbs and Big Creek Church. Our principal reason for this petitioning you is from the well known fact that between H. Millers & R. E. Webbs being 1 1/4 miles the road is so crossed with hills and spurs of hills that it is scarcely passable with any facility, even when it is in the best order, and from the fact that the proposed route is only about 1 1/4 miles and a good level way for the greater part, and would facilitate public as well as local interest.

To the honorable the ordinary of said County, we the undersigned commissioners appointed to view out a road from the Dillon farm to John Coopers, report that in our judgment after looking at the situation of the same & considering the facts of whether it is of eight public or private utility, we can see no possible benefit that it can be to any one not even to Algood himself, by or near whose house it would pass, besides it would run through some very valuable land now fenced in & in cultivation which would make the damages very heavy for a road of no more use or benefit to any one than it would be. It would seem that the application would have only been made for the purpose of giving Algood a way to & from his house which is not more than 200 or 250 yds from the Warsaw Road & that a road from it to his house would form the only practical way of his getting in and out but as we are
