The opponents of the drainage board
have issued a circular In which they
say: I'VE, the undersigned executive
committee Of the North Topeka drain
!. age district board, representing an or
ganization Of taxpayers, are opposed to
the issuing and selling of $125.000 in
bonds for the following reasons: We
think the burden Of taxation would
be excessive compared with the bene-
fits to be obtained: We believe that
board would be very expensive and
unsatisfactory experiment; that to
) complete the work would cost even
!. more than the $125, 200. which would
necessitate the voting Of more bonds,
We believe by changing the course OF
Soldier creek in many places as pro-
posed, would bring about many DAM
age suits. which would tend to in
crease the burden. We believe that
litigation testing the drainage act will
keep the matter in court, perhaps for
years. in which case the bonds can not
| be sold and meanwhile nothing will
be done. We believe that the First
} ward Of the oity of Topeka would be
and other commercial interests to To-
cate in said ward as they would be
compelled to help pay this enormous
. debt.-David M. Fultz, Charles Ger
