This amount will be about sixty cents
per acre upon the first-class lands
north of the K. & w. to the Des
Moines and about fifty cents per acre
upon the Fox river territory south of
the railroad extending to Fox river.
From the organization of the COM
pany the assessment per annum for
period of four years was one dollar and
fifty cents for the superior lands, and
one dollar for the second-class. The
expenses for levees, canals and dikes
have been large, and some years yet
will be required to equalize expenses
and taxes. But affairs are moving
safely and our system of levee protec-
ton and drainage is placing the dis
trict in a comparative safe condition
against flood invasion and losses from
surface water. The levees will be
made higher and of greater base, and
the drainage canals will be perfected
bikes will be built to protect banks
and other improvements will be made
as fast as means warrant.
Considering its few years of exist
ence, the Des Moines and Mississippi
Levee company has proved itself to
be worthy enterprise. Upon request
of Clark Snively, DR.. jenkins stated
that many lands of the district are
valued too high and taxed excessively
by the county and suggested that the
owners of the lands in this district
should present remonstrance to the
county board of equalization. petit
ton was prepared, and the land own
ers subscribed, asking lower valua-
ton upon these farms.

ty our levee district IS doing we'll.
