Jeff explained process for validation of road to clarify if right of way really exists.
McLean stated it was a road in the 1950’s
Jeff stated the law of today has changed since 1906 which is time road may have been established – use of this road has changed.
In 2004, Joe Wright sent letter to McLean to explain the process for validation procedure.
