29-314. Fence on boundary line between counties; viewers. If the line upon which a partition fence is to be made or to be divided is the boundary line between counties or if such line is partly in one county and partly in another, two of the fence viewers shall be the chairpersons of the board of county commissioners of the respective counties. If such commissioners cannot agree, they shall select a third commissioner from the county fence viewers in the two counties, and their assignment, in order to be binding and effectual, must be recorded, as hereinbefore provided, in each of such counties. A county commissioner may appoint a designee to serve as a fence viewer in place of such commissioner.
