The statement is strong testi-
monial of the ability of the public
spirited gentlemen who have com
posed the Board, showing as it
does the receipt and expenditure of
nearly two million dollars. The
magnificent line of levees on our
front testlfies that this large sum of
money has been iudiciously and
economically expended. The yalua-
ble services of the gentlemen who
have from time to time constituted
the Board have been given grata-
itously to the people of the district
their total mileage and per diem
during the whole term amounting to
something over five thousand dol
lars.
We venture the assertion that no

economically administered than the
