Funds for Drainage.

AS far as can be seen at present,
Representative Bessette has made a
valuable find in his drainage fund
proposal. He has introduced a bill
at St. Paul providing for the estab
lishment of revolving fund for the
draining of state lands. Under this
plan there would be no more appeals
for appropriations by the legislature,
and the state would be able each year
to add to it's reclaimed acreage.
In few states is there better oppor
tunity for reclamation by drainage
than in Minnesota, yet it is always
difficult to get money appropriated
for that purpose, remarks the Du-
luth Herald. Still, some funds for
this purpose have been secured in
the past, and certain areas have been
reclaimed.
Included in the $4,000 acres of
state land to be offered for sale this
year are about $4,000 acres that have
been drained by the use of direct ap-
preparations. State records place the
cost of drainage at two dollars an
acre, on the average, and land thus
reclaimed has been sold in this state
for as high as nine dollars an acre.
Under Representative Bessette's
plan, sum equal to the cost of drain
ing the land would be set aside from
the sale receipts from all such land.
and would constitute a fund for ad-
ditiOnal drainage work. Thus, with
the average cost of drainage at two
dollars an acre the sale this year of
$4,000 acres of drained land would
mean that next year the state would
have approximately a hundred and
fifty thousand dollars to use for drain
age purposes, without having to pro-
vide cent by appropriation, and still
would have a good revenue from the
sale of land.
The Bessette plan looks good. At
least it has enough merit on the face
of it to make it worth thorough study
before being laid aside. 1t may be
the means of solving an important
problem for Minnesota.

The. League of Minnesota Munich
palities. has devised.a scheme of en-
cheering cooperation for the cities
and towns. holding membership. It's
plan will be to work in cooperation
with the Municipal Reference Bureau
which is a department., sof the Cen
eral Extension Division of the Uni
versity of Minnesota.
Towns contemplating public inn
provement in the way of street paw
ing, water works, electric plants and
sewer systems may write in to the
Municipal Reference Bureau for adj
vice as to how to plan the work. When
the work is definitely planned and de-
|cided upon, the bureau will put the
towns in touch with reputable firm
of engineers who will supervise the
construction work.
Much poor and shoddy work has
been done in Minnesota towns be-
cause officials have been unwilling to
employ experts. But there is need
of expert advise from the very in
ception of the plan. Blunders made
at the start through poor planning
are often perpetuated for a genera
ton. In public works more than in
any other business the motto should
be: "Be sure you are right and then
go ahead" Ordinarily cities and
towns do not plan these works with
foresight. They plan for the pres
ent only and do not foresee the
the growth of the town and make
advance provisions. accordingly. A
water works system or a sewer sys-
tenn should always be planned with a
definite view to the use of the gen.
Grafton to come.
The only reason why city officials
hesitate to employ expert engineer
.ng talent is that they are afraid of
having to pay high fee and because
certain towns have been imposed up
on by charlatans in the guise of en-
gineers. The purpose Of the new bu-
reau of engineering cooperation is
to help officials to avoid both of these
errors. A list of accredited engin-
GERS will be prepared, and these en-
gineers have signified their willing
ness to accept certain reasonable
fee. None but reputable firms who
do thorough-going and conscientious
work can obtain place on the list
Inquiries on this subject should be
addressed to the Municipal Reference
Bureau, University of Minnesota.
