not heard from them for years. and this

A great many inquiries have come to
state officials in regard to the new laws
which affect the making and repairing
Of levees in Iowa. The legislature last
Winter apparently foresaw just what
has happened, for il made the following
as an amendment to the law in regard
to assessment of costs for drains and
lcvees:
In order to prevent or repair break
liz any levee in time of high water any
member of the board of supervisors
may al once employ the necessary labor
to repair the levee or prevent a break
thereof, and the necessary and reasona-
bic expense thereof shall be audited by
the board of supervisors and paid from
the levee fund
This provision of the law which is
now in force gives members of the
board great power III an emergency and
i; might be very useful this year

the review work on the returns from
the counties. Only personal property
assessments are to be considered, but
in case of new buildings this is to be
