(605 ILCS 5/9-104) (from Ch. 121, par. 9-104)
Sec. 9-104.
In grading highways corner stones marking sectional or other
corners shall not be disturbed, except to lower such stones so that they
will not rise above the surface of the highway. If a corner stone is
covered to a depth greater than 12 inches or is covered with a highway
surfacing material other than road oil, the location of the corner stone
shall be preserved by setting a suitable monument over the stone which
shall be level with the highway surface or by setting at least 3 offset
monuments in locations where they will not be disturbed. When any corner
stone is lowered or when a monument is set over a stone or when offset
monuments are set it shall be done in the presence of and under the
supervision of a Registered Illinois Land Surveyor who shall record the
type and location of the reference monuments with respect to the corner
stone in the office of the recorder in the county in which such stone is
located.
