§ 8-2-15-10. Rates and charges; appeal
Sec. 10. The rates of ferriage shall be fixed by the board of county commissioners at the time of licensing the ferry, and from time to time thereafter, as they shall think proper; and it shall be the duty of the auditor to furnish every applicant, on taking out a license to keep a ferry, with a list of the rates of ferriage, which list the ferry-keeper shall put up either at the door of the ferry-keeper's ferryhouse, or on the ferry-keeper's boats, or on some conspicuous place convenient to the ferry. However, if any person be aggrieved by the establishing of such rates, the person shall have the right to appeal to the circuit court of the proper county upon filing a bond within thirty (30) days (of) the fixing of the same by such board, payable to the state of Indiana, with security to be approved by the county auditor, and conditioned for the due prosecution of such appeal and the payment of all costs if judgment be rendered against such appellant, and the county auditor shall cause such bond, with a certified copy of the proceedings of said board and all of the original papers of the same, to be filed in the office of the clerk of the circuit court within twenty (20) days thereafter, and such cause shall be docketed for the ensuing term, and further proceedings had and judgment rendered by the circuit court as in other cases of appeal. And upon such appeal, the circuit court shall have the power to review such rates of ferriage and fix the same as may be just and proper.
