Sec. 4082. When tolls may be suspended or resumed; fees of
viewers; court may order repairs to be made.—All tolls upon any
section or sections or any bridge or abutments thereto of the road of
any tumpike company so pronounced not to be in good repair, shall
be suspended from the time of filing of a report of the said viewers
in the clerk’s office, and until the said section or sections shall have
been put in good repair and ascertained so as to be in the following
manner, within four months from the date of filing the report of said
viewers :

On application of the president or one of the directors of the com-
pany, the court shall, in term time or vacation, direct the same
viewers, or in case of vacancy or vacancies, such other disinterested
freeholders as may be necessary to fill such vacancy or vacancies, as
ne may appoint, to meet on the said section or sections at a specified
time, which shall be as soon as convenient, and ascertain whether or
not the said section is, or sections are, in good repair, and all proceed-
ings shall be the same as prescribed in preceding sections. The fees
accruing to’ officers and viewers acting under this section, shall be paid
by the company, and upon any report hereunder the company shall
have the right of appeal to the circuit court.

In addition to the remedies provided in the foregoing part of this
section, however, if any section or sections of the road or any bridges
or abutments thereto of any turnpike company are pronounced by
the said viewers not to be in good repair, or that the said turnpike
company is not complying with its charter provisions with reference
to said turnpike construction or maintenance of its roads, bridges or
abutments the court, or the judge thereof in vacation, may order the
necessary repairs recommended by the said viewers to be forthwith
made under the supervision of the local road authorities, and the
cost of such repairs shall be borne by the turnpike company owning
the section or sections so repaired, and shall be a lien on all the prop-
erty of such company until paid.

But nothing contained in this or the preceding five sections shall
be construed to refer to any turnpike placed under the exclusive con-
trol of the State corporation commission.
