Sec[Section]. 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly, That the said plats and surveys, as accepted by the said courts be, and the same are hereby, declared to be legal and valid in all respects; and shall not be set aside, or held to be void and of no effect, on account of any informality in said plats, surveys, &c. And the said roads as laid off and located by the said commissioners, agreeably to said plats and surveys, shall be deemed and considered State roads, and the supervisors of the several districts through which the same may pass are hereby required to open, work, and keep the same in good repair as the law requires.
