§ 201. Boom for logs
When it becomes necessary for a person rightfully engaged in running logs down a river
or stream in this State to anchor a boom for such logs on land bounding upon such
river or stream, and he or she is unable to agree with the owner or occupant of such
land with reference thereto, such person may call upon the selectboard of the town
wherein such land lies to act in the premises, by giving at least 48 hours’ notice
in writing thereof to such owner or occupant. Thereupon the selectboard shall investigate
and decide as to the necessity and location of such boom, the time during which it
shall remain, and the amount of damage, if any. The decision of the selectboard shall
be in writing and be final. When such person has paid or tendered to the selectboard
his or her fees in the matter and to the owner or occupant of such land the damages
awarded, the boom may be anchored in accordance with the findings of the selectmen.
