| Clerk of Said District Court
STATE OF MINNESOTA, County of
/ Blue Earth. District Court Sixth
Judicial District
|! In the matter of the Judicial Ditch
! Proceeding in the County of Blue
! Earth Under the Laws of the State
of Minnesota.
The undersigned petitioners re-
spectfully represent to the Court and
state that they are the owners of
land liable to be affected by or as
| sessed for the expense of the public
drain hereinafter described; that the
public health, convenience and well
fare and the drainage and reclama-
ton of wet and over-fowed lands
require the establishment and con-
| struction of a public drain along the
| following described route in the towns
of Lincoln and Garden City in the
| County CT Blue Earth and State of
Minnesota, and that the construction
of the same would be of public benefit
and utility and is necessary for the
| following reason, to-wit.
| That the lands through which said
proposed public drain is located and
adjacent lands adjoining thereto,
making one drainage system, are low
lands and in their present condition
are not suitable and in their best
| condition for agricultural purposes;
that there are large ponds of water
standing in and about the proposed
ditch that become stale and stagnant
and generally affect the general
health and welfare of the residents
| in the community along the said pro-
! POSED ditch that large portion of
the highways are impossible be-
| cause of water standing upon both
| oIoSo VI oliu highways, causing Tie
roads to become muddy and impass-
able.
That large amount of land is now
unsuitable for agricultural purposes
because of the large quantities of
stale and stagnant water standing
thereon and large area of farm lands
will be enhanced in value and i'm
proved for agricultural purposes by
| the construction of said ditch, as well
as the general public health and well
fare of the community, and that the
roads will be made passable by the
| construction of said ditch.
/ A general description of the pro-
| posed starting point, route and term
mus of said ditch, and legal des-
cription of all lands through which
said proposed ditch will pass, as near
| as we can ascertain the same, is as
follows.
