PETITIONS FOR PUBLIC ROADS, RELATING TO
                 Act of Jun. 20, 1919, P.L. 509, No. 250              Cl. 36
                                  AN ACT

     Relating to petitions for laying out certain public roads, and
        to reports of viewers thereon.

        Section 1.  Be it enacted, &c., That when any petition is
     presented to any court of quarter sessions of this Commonwealth
     praying for the appointment of viewers, as now provided by law,
     to view and lay out a public road in any township or townships
     of this Commonwealth, such petition, and the report of the
     viewers thereon, shall not be held invalid for the reason that
     one of the termini named in the petition or in the report is at
     a point other than in a public highway or place of public
     resort, where it appears in such petition or report that the
     other terminus is in a public road and that the road is one
     necessary for public travel or for the use of a property owner
     or owners, no longer located on a public highway, by reason of
     the vacation of the public highway formerly serving such
     property: Provided, however, That in case one of the termini
     named in the report is at a point other than in a public highway
     or place of public resort the finding of the viewers that the
     road is necessary for public travel or for the use of property
     owners as above provided shall be subject to the approval of the
     court of quarter sessions, which may confirm or set aside said
     finding.
        (1 amended July 12, 1935, P.L.732, No.291)
