Devils Lake, N. D., July 6, 1900.
10 the Hon. Board of County Commits
sloners of Ramsey Co. N, D.,
Gentlemen:
Replying to your inquiry of me for
my. opinion as to who is the proper
body to levy the assessment under the
drainage law Of 1895; I desire to say
that in my opinion the Board of Drain
age Commissioners under said law is
the only body authorized to make a
list showing the amount which each
municipality and tract of land
is liable to pay, and it then
becomes the duty of the county audit
to extend the said amounts upon
the tax list as q special tax, as provid-
ed for under Sec, 1857 Of the Revised
The only tax under this law that the
County Commissioners have the power
levy is q tax sufficient to pay the
annual interest on n bonds which
may have been issued for the construc-
SA0A ~OS0oAOA VI A0AA1oS VI Ill C6606
where no assessments Of benefits
have been made by the Board of
Drainage Commissioners, then and in
that case the Board of Commissioners
charge of the drains may make
the assessment and not otherwise.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) P. j. McCLoRY,
States Attorney.
