The following report of the district engineer was presented: Bemidji, Minn., May 19th, 1916. Hon. County Board: . Gentlemen: Having been instructed to investigate the advisability of lower- ing Whitefish lake in section 26, Town of Roosevelt, I wish to report that I find it would be necessary to construct a ditch from Whitefish lake to Perch lake, a distance of 1,350 feet. To lower the lake four feet at an approximate cost of $1,300, this would require at least 300 feet of 24-inch tile, as there would be a cut of from ten to twenty feet. I would consider the cost pro- benefited. To lower this lake would be of no benefit to the county so far as roads are concerned, as it would not change the length of the bridge re- quired on the town line, across the inlet of the lake. Running down the creek o: outlet of the lake, we find one foot fall in 1,500 feet. To clean and straizhten the creek would benefit meadow lands, as it would increase the velocity of the water, and take the flood waters off in a much shorter time. Respectfully sub- mited, Roy K. Bliler, District Engineer. Tt was moved, seconded and carried that the report of the engineer be ac- cepted and placed on file.
