§ 5571.12.
Except as provided in section 5571.20 of the Revised Code , the board of township trustees shall cause the graveled and unimproved public roads
of the township to be dragged. At the beginning of each fiscal half year, the board, before making any other appropriations
from the township road fund, shall appropriate and set aside a sum sufficient to meet
the expense of dragging the graveled and unimproved public roads of the township during
the ensuing six months. That sum shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which it was appropriated. The board from time to time shall designate the roads to be dragged and furnish suitable
road drags, hones, scrapers, or other tools, which shall be paid for out of the road
fund. The work of dragging the graveled and unimproved public roads of the township, or
of any road district of the township, shall be done under the supervision of one of
the township trustees or the township highway superintendent designated to have charge
of the maintenance and repair of roads as provided in section 5571.02 of the Revised Code . That trustee or superintendent shall employ the necessary labor and teams at a price
to be fixed by the board. Bills for dragging shall be paid from the dragging fund upon the order of the board.
