DRAINAGE PLAN FOR
WESTERN RAMSEY


An extensive system Of drainage
bitches is planned FOR the western part
of Ramsey county bordering onsHenre-
pin and Anoka counties. Several flakes
in the district have no outlets, and after
ng-ccntinued rains they overflow,
causing great damage to roads and fields.
The most important is Silver lake, near
the reservoir in Columbia Heights. It
is now eight feet above the normal
stage and many fields are submerged
The Silver Lake road is flooded for a
long distance and cannot be traversed
It is proposed by means Of a system Of
ditches, to drain the lake into Jones
lake and thence into Pike and other
lakes with an outlet into Long lake, al
New Brighton.
The bitches will reclaim much 1and
which will be valuable for agriculture,
purposes. The expense will be great
but under the new drainage law much
Of the cost can be assessed against the
benefited property and paid for in tel
annual installments.

STATE TAKES C0UNTY'S
| TAXES ON INHERITANCES

BY a special ruling from the attorney
general, Country Treasurer Henry G.
Hanke has been ordered to pay over to
the state treasurer the $40, 800 inner
itance tax that has been collected in
Hennepin county since the law went
into effect. The money was paid over
today. There was some dispute as to
how the money could be given to the
state, since it is provided that no
money can be paid out by the county
treasurer except on a warrant from the
county auditor, and no provision ex.
lists for the auditors issuing warrant
at the command Of the state treasurer
The special ruling, however, ha
overcome this difficulty and from nov
on the county books will contain no rec
ord of collected inheritance taxes. Tn
| county treasurer will act as specis'
collector for the state treasurer an
will have separate fund for the in
heritance tax collections
