the General Assembly OF 1912, and by
resolution of this Board dated August IA,

small premium-little more than enough
to pay the expenses such as engraving
bonds and other expenses attached to the
bond matter.
This amount will provide revenues for
the District and supplement the funds OF
the State and United States for levee work
to be undertaken during 1912, and will
enable the Board to remit the levee taxes
for this year in accordance with a state
