DRAINAGE PROTEST
CASE Continued
MEN WHO OBJECT TO ASSESS
MENT OF DRAINAGE BOARD
IN DRAINAGE DITCH CONTEST
THE LEVIEs IN THE DISTRICT
COURT.

A large number Of the men in Ber-
lin and Rush River townships appear
ed in the district court today TO pro-
test against the assessment that had
been made by the drainage board in
making the levy for James Hill drain
No. 30.
The case was begun yesterday aft
ernoon and continued throughout the
most of today. McEnroe & Wood are
representing the petitioners and Ball,
Watson, Young & Lawrence are the
attorneys for the drainage board.
Sam Crabbe, the county surveyor,
was the chief witness for the board
during the day and other members of
the board were called upon to testify.
1t seemed to be the general opinion
of those officially connected with the
board that the assessments had been
made with the best discretion possible
and the boundaries Of the areas prop
erly fixed.
The petitioners have alleged that
they are not getting the benefits from
the drain that they are supposed to
be deriving. They further allege that
there are farmers getting benefits
from the drains who are not being
assessed for drain No. 30 However,
many OF these are getting their drain
from. the Rush River drain, as shown
by the testimony offered today.
