Our Diamond Brand Shoes Editor Trags. Dear Srr:—I see by the Bates coun- ty papers that there is still some op- position to the river and drainage proposition now before the county court. As I am interested to the extent of one hundred acres in the Marias Des Cygnes river bottom, I would like to express my opinion, I am morethan willing to pay my part of the drain- age tax, let it be what it will. I would rather have fifty acres well drained than one bundred acres in the condi- tion it now is, I am confident that with a competent drainage board to oversee the work and the county court to watch them that we will get aequare deal, so far as cost is con- cerned. Last week I had a letterfrom @ realestate man in Butler, stating that he thought he could sel! a large tract of that land, if he could get an option on it, and that he would take ten dollars per acre for his overflow land. Now that don’t sound good tome. Ie it possible that the best land in Bates county 1s only worth ten dollars per acre and no effort to be made to make it worth more? Eggs taken same as cash.

It has been said that many owners of Osageand Marias des Uygnes River bottom land in Bates county have the {dea that if the pending drainage plans in Bates county are consum- mated, and bonds issued for the pay- ment of the work, it may even then turn out that a further issue of bonds or further assessment will have to be made to complete the work; or, in other words, that there is no aseur- ance that the first assessment, and bonds issued in pursuance of that, will complete the work as proposed. Such an idea cannot be entertained by one who is familiar with the pro- visions of the present drainage etat- ute of this state, This affordsample protection againet any such suppos- ed unfortunate contingency. 4 In the fires place it should be re- membered the engineer is required to make an estimate of the costs of the entire work. This must beapproved by the County Court before the con- tract for construction can be made. The law expressly provides that no contract for construction shall be let to an amount in excess of the engi- neer’s estimate of cost. The law is to be let to the lowest bidder, and, as stated, these bide must come within the estimated amount. In addition to that, the contractors are required to give bond with good and solvent sureties in amount equal to twenty per cent of the cost of construction, conditioned that the contractor shall complete the work as required. In addition to that no contractor can get his pay except through the orders of the County Court, and drawn from the county treasury as the work is com- pleted by sections. Tuos J, Smita.
