That the county courts of Grundy and Marion counties may appoint a surveyor of each county, with the necessary chain carriers and markers to run and mark said line; and when done, the county court of Grundy County shall appropriate the sum of two dollars and fifty cents each, per day, to the surveyors, and one dollar per day to the chain carriers and markers who may be necessarily employed in said duty.

SECTION 3. That the citizens of Grundy County be authorized to file bills and commence other proceedings in the Chancery Court at Jasper, as they are permitted to do at McMinnville or Manchester.
