Resolved that when this meeting

of Schools read and approved.
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners of Marshall County.
We, the undersigned, members OF
the Town Boards of Oak Park and
Vega Townships, do hereby petition
you and urgently request that you
send some one to the Senate to work
IL favor OF the proposed appropriation
for a cutoff from Snake River to Red
River in the county line between Mar
shall and Polk counties. We believe
it to be to the best interests of the
farmers in this district and we want
you to use all honorable means to get
the matter pushed through The bill
is now tied up through a petition from
the residents of Higdem township in
which they oppose the ditch on &C
count Of future expense in building
and maintaining bridges across the
ditch. We earnestly believe that if
this ditch is not constructed as petit
toned for, we will again be unable to
raise crops as the river at this point
will overflow and do irreparable dam
age to those living near the Snake
River. This was the case before the
construction of the Judicial Ditch and
with the numerous bitches now emp
tying into Snake River we are again
facing the same problem
Respectfully submitted,
Il. T. Rykken,
