It provides that when in its opinion it is necessary or advisable, in order to provide proper protection or a proper location for a proposed bridge or road, the board of county commissioners may divert, alter, straighten, or clean out a river, creek, or other watercourse, and for such purpose may acquire the necessary property and settle all claims for damages of any persons interested. The expenses so incurred shall be payable out of the funds provided for the protection or construction of said bridge or road. The board of county commissioners may cause a river, creek, or watercourse to be straightened or cleaned out for the protection of any bridge or road within its control. The board of county commissioners may also remove from a river, watercourse, or creek, within the county, drift, timber, piling, or other obstruction placed or negligently allowed to remain therein by a person that obstructs to any extent the free flow of the water or endangers a county or township road, after giving thirty days' notice to the person, or an agent thereof, to remove the obstruction within that time.
