included as the parties on the ditch do
not pay these.
His other charges are on the same
footing as the books will show. If there
was any neglect it was in the Engineers 8
Office and only the Auditors and Mr..
Blessings care prevented Mr.. CHM get
ting third whack at the ditch.
1 have delayed answering these
charges, as a time had been set for the
investigation of the charge against Mr.
CHM, and 1 did not think proper to
inject side issues into it, and draw
| attention from the case in point. Under
| the new law which does not provide for
serving notices of amount of their
assessment upon parties, changes like
those perpetrated in the Hartzler case
might be made and go undiscovered as
it has always been the custom for the
Engineer, after the hearing to take the
report to make up his sale bills, con-
| tracts, etc. Hereafter the report will be
kept in the Auditors office. Perhaps a
statement of how the taxes on a ditch
are made up, might not be out of place
here. The Engineers report as filed
forms the basis for the whole work.
Once filed, the Engineer, the Auditor,
nor the Commissioners have no more
lSut w OHnuSo d ASuTo III buo report,
than they have to change the figures on
check given by some other party.
If the Commissioners at their hearing
think any mans apportionment too low
or too high, they can add to it or reduce
it by putting the same on their minutes,
but not changing their report. After
they have gone over the report they can
reject the same, or approve it, or they
can order the Engineer to re- estimate
the work, and re apportion the costs,
and give another hearing on the new
report.
If the Commissioners approve the
report as filed, or if they amend the
same, and approve it as amended, they
order the Engineer to sell the same,
and the Auditor to place sufficient taxes
upon the duplicate to pay for the con-
struction Of the ditch, and to pay the
Engineers expenses, and all other neces-
sary and authorized expenses, including
the interest on the bonds. The appor-
tionment of the Engineer only covers
the cost of construction and location.
In the Hartzler ditch, the other ex-
penses, (including those of second sale)
are as follows:
