10 The Boards Of Supervisors Of
Harrison and pcttawatamjs
Counties.

~ tSs6 0E0tG Vi OUTFIT VlSEtS Vi
Harrison and pcttawatamjs
Counties.
Being somewhat of an inter-
ested spectator at the joint ses-
sion Of the supervisors of Har-
r.son and Pottawattamie ccun-
ties at Council Bluffs the 21st
of February, | observed some
facts worthy consideration.
AS a whole, | cannot find
fault with the proceedings of
the two boards, but fear that
there might be such a feeling
aroused among the respective
members of the two boards as
to thwart the wishes of the peo-
lple of the district.
TElre is some merit in the
position taken by the members
of the Pottawattamie county
board, and the same would have
been seen and appreciated as
we'll by the members of the
Harrison county board, had
they possessed less zeal and de-
sire to urge the rapid consider
ton of the matter before them.
| can readily see why the Pot
taw;lttamie county board has
taken its present position, and
in my estimation it is governed
largely by what SEEMS like cp-
position to the improvement
from residents of their county.
The position taken by the
board of Harrison county is be-
cause there is practically NO
opposition in their county and
all are interested in the i'm
mediate completion of the work.
The danger of the delay of
final settlement is that it may
make it necessary to continue
in the present condition one
year longer than otherwise
would be necessary.
There are some points which
should not be overlooked by all
members that constitute the
authority for establishing
bitches through two OF more
counties. Following are two of
the most important ones:
/. In the formation of the
drainage district, have they in
cluded land which should be
excluded?
2. Does the district contain
ALL the land that SHOULD BE
INCLUDED?
Let the boards, collectively,
take time to view the district,
familiarize themselves with the
bitches needed to accomplish
the work of retaining the ter
ritory. After this investiga-
ton they will certainly be bet
ter able to judge of the merits
of the claims of the petitioners
and also of the merits of those
opposed.
At this point it would be wise
for this joint commission to
realize that now they are to
establish a drainage district for
the benefit of the WHOLE dis
trict. The fact that the county
line extends across it should
make no difference in their de-
liberation and the wishes of the
people. The need of this i'm.
provement applies to the EN-
TIRE drainage district and not
to portion of Harrison county
or a portion of Pottawattamie
county.
In talking with the property
owners Of the drainage district
| find that there is little oppo.
sition to the improvement if it
were not for the tax liable tt
be assessed against them. On
that point | will say that there
is no land owner at present
who knows he will be taxed, al
though included in the district
The land will not be classified
for tax purposes until the i'm

wrongfully levied q tax against
them, they still have recourse
to the courts for adjustments.
Is it not better to have the judg-
ment of the board Of apprais-
ers, the judgment of the COM
bined boards of supervisors and
the judgment of the district
court than the claims OF the in
dividual land owner, who De
sIREs the improvement, NEEDS
the Improvement, but does not
wish to PAY HIS JUST SHARE?
There have been but few
laws ever enacted that have
guarded the interests of the
land owner as carefully in re-
CARDS to his liabilities as the
law under which the joint
boards are now acting.
Opposition to the establish
ment of the drainage district is
due to a misunderstanding of
conditions. Because certain
lands are included in the dis
trlct, it does not necessarily
follow that all such lands will
be taxed, but ONLY such lands
as ARE and WILL BE BENEFITED
by the improvement.
All the land included in the
drainage district around the
Curtis ditch in Harrison county
is not taxed, only such lands as
in the judgment of the commit
tee of classification, are bene-
fitted.
You will find land owners ir
the drainage district of Harri
son county, as we'll as in Potta-
wattamie coun ty, who desire
the ditch, hope for it, pray for
lit, and who wish the members
of the board of supervisors to
establish and have constructed
the bitches as recommended
yet Individually take the posi-
ton that they will not be bene-
fitted. Now, if these land own
ers are so willing to see the inn
provement established, why are
they not just as willing to sub
init to the provision of the law
to take care of their interests
and let the judgment of the
committee of classification, the
eight members of the board
of supervisors and a district
judge or twelve of their fellow.
countrymen, as jurors, decide
as to the business of the tax?
Why men will not submit the
deciding of the right to be taxed
to fair men who will hear all
their objections, cannot under
stand. They assume the right
to pass judgment for them
selves, but are not willing to
allow disinterested officers to
decide for them. How many
Improvements would the mem
bers of the board Of supervisors
ever establish? How many
poor houses would they build :
How many bridges construct !?
How many new roads establish
or how much improvement to
old roads? How many school
houses would they erect? How
much of anything that they
are called upon to do would
they do if they should listen to
a few unfair men These few
are ever present, but Judging
from the progress you have
made in the past in bettering
oar conditions in every way
possible, the supervisors have
succeeded in spite Of the OBJ
jections Of a few, and | believe
after they have given the mat
ter of establishing the Harrison
and Pottawattamie county
drainage due consideration they
will do their duty as they have
in the past. Spectator.

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia


Pneumonia is too dangerous
a disease for anyone to attempt
to doctor himself, although he
may have the proper remedies
at hand. A physician should
always be called. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that
pneumonia always results from
a cold or from an attack of the
grip, and by the proper treat
ment of these diseases a threat
ened attack of pneumonia may
be warded off. There is no
question whatever about this,
as during the thirty years and
more that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has been used, we have
yet to learn of a single case of
a cold or attack Of the grip
having resulted in pneumonia
when this remedy was used. 1t
is also used by physicians in the
treatment of pneumonia with
the best results. DR.. w. j.
Smith, of Sanders, Ala, who is
also a druggist, says of it: 81
