Information and ~ tnvestigation. Nothing more. Why would a person outside the benefited district oppose this great improvement? hy wouldn't any progressive and far seeing citizen give itevery en- couragement possible? The present assessed valuation of Bates County is, in round numbers, $10,000,000.00. With no other increase {n this val- nation, than from the growth of value of the land fo this drainage district, within the next 5 or 6 years this assessed valuation will be $11,- 000,000.00 That means the person who now pays $100 state, county and school taxes will only pay $90 5 or 6 years hence if no more revanue is required to ran our county then than now. © The entire cost of this construction comes off the drainage district, cost of bridges incladed. The fact that there has been so much misinformation as to the lia- bility of the county in this matter we desire to quote from the law. Lines 25 to 30 section 8298, page 188 of laws of 1905 are as follows. “All costs, except of construction and collection of delinquent assess- ments or installments and except those taxable to the petitioners, remonatraters or apellants, shall be | arper ed of the county treasury, and be refunded to the county out of the first money received upon as- sessments or from sales of lands issued under the, provisions of this article.” Again the last 4 lines section 8301 page 189. “The said installments of said assessments and the interest thereon shall be applied to the pay- ment of the bonds, principal and in- terest, issued pursuant to this article and except aa herein provided,to no other purpose, and the payment of And prove the truth of our statement when we claim that, as far as the matter of furniture is concerned we standsecondto none.
