Text

In making such apportionment of any highway or meandered stream constituting the county line between two or more counties, as provided by § 31-14-35 , the respective boards of county commissioners shall take into consideration the number of streams crossing the highway and the probable necessity of the number of bridges to be constructed and to be kept in repair upon the county line. In apportioning the highway or stream, the boards shall equalize, as near as possible, the burden of building and maintaining the bridges on the highways of the county line. In case of a failure to apportion any such highway or meandered stream, as provided in § 31-14-35 , the same shall be apportioned by the department.
