Whenever it may become necessary in grading highways to make a cut which will disturb or destroy, or a fill which will cover up, a government or other established corner, it shall be the duty of the county highway superintendent to establish permanent witness corners and make a record of the same, which shall show the distance and directions the witness corner is from the corner disturbed or covered up. Any county highway superintendent who fails to perform his duty under this section commits a petty offense.
