Boundary dispute over Centropolis road relocation
County and township officials clash over payment for a one mile road segment in Centropolis township Franklin county and Marion township Douglas county. County Attorney A B Stevens says the work was a relocation requiring proper procedure, so Douglas county and Marion township cannot legally pay. Franklin county officials argue the road was not relocated but only amended, leaving Pengins county liable for half the cost about 37 dollars as of 1920. A copy of Halloren opinion favoring Douglas county was sent to officials. Residents object to payment and Stevens notes Centropolis township may bear the charge.
