the Supervisors with list showing
the property owners and assessed
value of all property in the district.
Thereafter and when the Supervisors
make the annual tax levy (Which
is also in September) they must
levy a special tax which will be
sufficient to cover the estate for
such levee district. This levy is made
in the same way that a. levy is made
for school taxes and the money is
collected just the same way that
school taxes are collected and paid
to the tax collector and by him TO
the County Treasurer who must keep
same in a separate fund
Construction Work and Expenditures
All bills of the district must be
paid by warrants which must be it.
emized and which must be first ap-
proved by the trustees of the district.
These warrants must then go
to the Board of Supervisors and
from that time on they are handled
the same as other county warrants
and are finally paid from the spec
ial fund belonging to the district.
The law provides that all repair
or construction work exceeding five
hundred dollars (5O0.0O) must be
let by contract after two weeks not
ice, sealed bids being received, In
cases of great emergency and by
work may be done without letting
contract 1t is possible that some
recent statutes modify this provision
requiring work to be done by
contract so as to permit the district
to do work by day work.
All work of the district must be
done under the supervision of an en-
gineer appointed by the trustees.
County May Contribute.
In cases where the district does
work along or upon county roads
which is of benifit to the county as
well as the district the Supervisors
may contribute to the cost of the
work,
Trustees
The Board of Trustees shall serve
without compensation and they must
each give a bond for five thousand
dollars ($5000) to be approved by
| the Judge of the Superior court. The
district shall have power to
condemn the land or other property
for the benefit of the distric
Levee Bond Act.
This law became effective on
March 8, 1911, and is found in the gen.
oral laws of 1911 at page 975. The
law was passed to facilitate bond
issues by levee districts.
A bond issue may be made for the
purpose of building, constructing or
repairing the levees OF the district
or for acquiring rights of way.
Employment of Engineer.
The trustees must first employ
civil engineer who must make re-
port in writing giving a description
of the work, plans, profiles, specifi-
cations, and estimate of the cost and
certain other information
The trustees must then consider
this report and may adopt it or
modify it for adoption After it has
been adopted the trustees must give
notice to all tax payers in the
district, fixing day and an hour
when such tax payers may appear
and object and this day of hearing
must be not less than thirty nor six
ty days after the trustees adopted
the report The notices must be pos
ted in three places in the district
and published in the newspaper for
three weeks
Hearing.
AT the time fixed for the hearing,
| written objections OF the tax payers,
if any, shall be heard and this hear
ing may be continued from time to
time and upon the conclusion of the
hearing, the trustees may set aside,
modify or confirm the report OF the
engineer { or rather, to be correct,
the trustees must prior to this time
pass resolution embodying the re-
port of the engineer and specifying
the work proposed to be done and
and it is this resolution that they
may set aside, modify or confirm).
If the trustees decide to modify
this resolution which involves a mod
ification of the plans OF the engin-
eer the latter shall then make
new report, estimate, etc, and
when this is done, the trustees must
approve such report
