Drainage Act Held Constitutional
In the case of drainage district No.
in Richardson county the supreme
court has affirmed the judgment OF
the district court holding that the law
which provides for assessing benefits
accruing to a highway within the dis
trict is not in conflict with the consti.
tutional provision exempting property
of the state and county from taxation.
The opinion was written by Judge
Barnes, Judge Sedgwick dissents. The
court says:
"A drainage district organized under
the provisions of art. 4. oh. SO. Comp.
Stat. 1909, is a public and not a pri-
vate corporation. Neal vs.. Vansickel,

ton exemptirg property CT the state

such provisions in conflict with sec. 6.
art. . OF the constitution vesting the
corporate authorities of cities. towns
and villages with power to make local
improvements by special taxation or

The provision Of sec. s of the bill

THE title of art. 4. oh. 50. Comp.

sive to include the assessment Of pub

DOUGLAS County Slow.

State Treasurer Brian has money on
hand which the county Of Douglas is
supposed to take from the state in re-
turn for court house bonds. The stat
bought $500. 900 Of the 100000 issue
voted by Douglas county year or
two ago. but up to date only 100000
of the bonds have been delivered to
the state treasurer. For some reason
unknown the county has been slow
about the work of construction and
consequently slow about delivering the
bonds and receiving money from the
state. The state treasurer must keep
sufficient money on hand to keep
pace with the cost of the construction
and for this reason he is holding
money in the treasury with which to
take up the bonds as they are pre-
scented. Just before the close of March
the county commissioners delivered
$4,000 of bonds to the state and re-
ceived payment in accordance with
the bid OF the state for the $500. 900
issue.
