In the Matter of the Kert Creek

The Commissioners of the Kert

% That the owners of one
tenth and more than one-tenth Of the
lands in said Kert Creek Drainage
District have petitioned the commits
sioners of said district to enlarge
and extend existing drains of said
district and to lay out and construct
new drains therein; and
(2). That, after a thorough ex-
animation of the bitches and the plan
and scheme of drainage of that drain
age district, said commissioners have
become and are of the opinion that
the plan and scheme of drainage of
said district are and will be insuffi-
cient to effect a thorough drainage
of said district, for the purposes in
Sec. 1 of Oh. 419 laws of 1905 (Sec.
1891 statutes) of Wisconsin set
forth and
CD. That present drains should
be enlarged, deepened and extended
and additional drains should be dug,
specifications for which new drains,
engagements and extensions are in
said report and petition contained;
which specifications provide that
each of said new bitches, extensions,
OF present bitches, and enlarged parts
Of present bitches Except division Al,
have an average depth of feet and
a bottom width of s feet and that Di-
vision A be deepened feet, and that
said bitches each have a side slope
of zone to one" from the sides of the
bottom outward and upward; and
ca. That in their opinion the cost
of construction of the work in their
said report reported necessary will
be $57, 100000; and
90. That the cost of construc-
ton already assessed together with
the cost of construction by them pro-
posed will exceed the benefits al
ready assessed and confirmed by the
court, and
Co. That supplemental benefits
assessed in and by said petition
and report against the benefited
lands, easements and corporations
are warranted by the proposed work;
Which said report and petition prays
that said commissioners be author
lied and directed to construct the
new bitches in said petition report
ed to be necessary, and to enlarge
and extend the present drains in
said district as therein reported to
be necessary, and that the court con-
firm that report and all specifica-
lions, therein reported and all assess.
ments of supplemental benefits there
in reported and all assessments for
construction of said new and enlargr
ed and extended work therein re-
ported to be necessary.
And pursuant to an order made
by this court and at the place and
time iii said order fixed, to-wit:-JuIJ
8, 1912, this court having made an
order confirming said report, and
confirming all assessments therein
reported
And a petition having been this
.ay filed in court, by the commission
ers of said district, bringing to the
attention of this court the fact that
question has been raised upon the
sufficiency of the notice of said hear
ing leading up to said order Of com
firmation of July 9, 1912, because the
notice failed to state the estimated
cost of the work reported necessary,
and therefore failed to state the
substance of the petition;

B. M. Vaughan, attorneys for said
Kert Creek Drainage District:
