New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-09-23

Under the present drainage law the
state is compelled to buy ditch bonds.
In other words, the state of Minnesota
is compelled to loan millions of dol
lars with which to construct bitches to
drain the natural watershed of the
Minnesota river and improve these
10000, 900 acres, and all at the expense
and total destruction of the beautifully
improved farms, bridges and highways
in the river bottoms
1.-THE above facts are in possession
of the league. It is only reasonable
to expect that when the case is pro-
perly brought before the state legisla-
ture it will grant the relief prayed for.
1t is a task that is now and will for
some time to come demand the undivi-
ded attention of some of the league
members. but we have no doubt of I'LL
innate success.
For its New Ulm meeting the league
has secured special train service to
accommodate the visiting delegates.
This train will leave Minneapolis at
500 in the morning and reach New

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1908-09-23
WILL MEET HERE TUESDAY
River Improvement League to
Hold Session in this City
Sept. 29th.
George Ralph, State Drainage En-
gineer, to be One of the
Speakers.
Special Train Service Provided for
the Accommodation of Visit
ing Delegates.

Protection of the Minnesota valley
lowlands from the annual floods which
cause such heavy damage to crops and
to property will be demanded from the
legislature next winter by committee
to be appointed by the Minnesota Ri
yer Improvement league at a meeting
to be held in this city next Tuesday.
Blame for the increasing flood dam
age is laid directly to the extension of
the drainage system under state law
and state aid, and the leaders in the
river Improvement movement will set
up the claim that the state while aid
one class of people should not deny
relief to others who are compelled to
suffer thereby.
George Ralph, the state drainage
engineer, has been asked to address
the New Ulm meeting and in all prob
ability will do so. He is heartily in
favor of doing something to relieve
the situation in the valley, but thus
far his only suggestion has been that
congress. provide a reservoir system
for the upper Minnesota, similar to
that installed for the upper Mississip,
pi. The reservoirs would hold back
the foodwaters and release them al
times of low water, thus making the
stream navigable all the season.
President Diers of the league, in an
nouncing the approaching meetings
expresses the opinion that all the re-
lief desired can be secured through the
| legislature Or the state courts. HI
says:
1.-THE natural watershed of the Min
nesota river comprises an area O
10000, 900 acres of land, or one-fftl
the area of the state, all of which il
benefited by the drainage law. Assess
this vast area at the small rate of tel
cents an acre and you have 81 1000, OO
for every year you wish to assess.
