ROADS, NOTICE GIVEN OF OPENING
                  Act of May 2, 1899, P.L. 176, No. 115               Cl. 36
                                  AN ACT

     Requiring written notice to be served upon supervisors of the
        proposed opening and construction of new roads for public
        use, and of views, reviews and re-reviews in connection with
        such proposed new roads.

        Section 1.  Notice to supervisors; penalty for failure to
     notify
        In all cases wherein any proceedings are about to be had
     before any county commissioners or courts of this Commonwealth,
     by petition to the said courts or commissioners, looking to the
     laying out, opening and construction of new roads for public
     use, it shall be the duty of the parties making application to
     the commissioners or to the courts for the appointment of
     viewers, reviewers or re-reviewers to lay out, open or construct
     such public road, to give written notice of such application to
     the supervisors or commissioners of roads and highways of the
     territory through which the proposed public road is designed to
     be laid out and constructed, of the time and place of such
     application, and of the time and place of the meeting of
     viewers, reviewers or re-reviewers, and a copy of said written
     notice, properly attested, shall be filed among the records of
     the court having cognizance of the matter, and a failure to
     comply with the provisions of this act, as to such notice, shall
     be sufficient grounds for an application to set aside whatever
     proceedings may have been taken, of which said supervisors or
     commissioners of roads and highways had no written notice.
