§ 8-1-23-3 — Construction contracts

If any person shall desire to lay a pipe line,
conduit or private drain, across or along any county highway of this
state, such person shall first enter into a contract with the board of
county commissioners in each county wherein it is desired to locate
such pipe line, conduit or drain, which contract will obligate the owner
thereof to restore the county highway to its original condition after the
laying thereof and to reimburse the county for the use of such highway.
In addition such person shall file with the board of county
commissioners a surety bond, payable to the county, in a sum to be set
by and to the approval of the board of county commissioners,
conditioned upon the performance of such contract. No such contract
shall give any person a permanent right or easement to use any county
highway but such contract may give the right to use such highway so
long as such pipe line, conduit or drain, does not interfere with the
alteration, use, abandonment or public enjoyment of such county
highway.
