Sec. 7-115. Establishment of disputed boundaries. When the selectmen of adjoining towns, or of a town and the warden and burgesses of a borough or the mayor
and clerk of a city therein or adjoining, do not agree as to the place of the division line
between their respective communities, the Superior Court, upon application of either,
shall appoint a committee of three to fix such disputed line and establish it by suitable
monuments and report their doings to said court. When such report has been accepted
by said court and, together with the record of acceptance, has been lodged for record in
the records of both the communities interested therein, the line so fixed and established
shall thereafter be the true division line between them, and said court may allow costs
at its discretion. Before such committee proceeds to fix such line or monuments as
aforesaid, the members thereof shall be sworn and give notice to the parties interested
of the time and place of their meeting to attend to the duties of their appointment, at
least twenty days previous to the time of such meeting, by serving the same upon a
majority of the selectmen of such towns, the mayor and the clerk of such city and the
warden and a majority of the burgesses of the communities interested, and also by setting
the same on a signpost in each of such communities, if any, or at some other exterior
place near the office of the clerk of each community. All parties interested shall be
entitled to be heard before such committee.
