Sec. 8.
When an application shall be made, the township supervisor in which the road is to be located, shall give notice in writing to the owner and occupant of the land in substantially the same manner as provided in section 1 for the purpose of aiding in the striking of a jury to determine the necessity of the road and to appraise the damages, or the parties in interest may agree upon 3 or more persons as commissioners to act in place of a jury to determine the necessity and appraise the damages. If it is determined that the temporary highway is necessary for the purpose of removing the timber from the lands, the jury or commissioners shall certify under their hands the determination, their appraisal of the damages and the length of time that the highway is necessary; and at the expiration of the time the highway shall cease. The supervisor shall lay out the road in accordance with the determination, describing the same particularly, and shall cause a record thereof to be made in the clerk's office. A logging railroad shall not be operated upon or along a temporary highway.
