MAY BUILD TO
PREVENT FLOODS
LEE COUNTY SUPERVISORS TAKE
PRELIMINARY STEPS FOR
DISTRICT.

Fl. Madison, June unconditional
upon the claims for damages not be-
ing excessive, the board of supervisors
ordered the establishment and con-
struction Of drainage district and
pumping station to protect from over.
flow by the Mississippi river over 49,
900 acres of Iowa's most fertile land
lying in the valley between here and
Burlington.
In session the board adopted and ap-
proved the report Of Engineer Edmund
T. Perkins OF Chicago, recommending
and detailing the proposed district,
which will involve the expenditure OF
close to 100000.
The county auditor was empowered
to appoint three appraisers who will
pass upon the claims hled for dam
ages and the right of way costs, their
report to be acted on July Z.
The drainage district is conse-
quent effect of the construction Of
the Cooper dam at Keokuk, seven
teen miles below here. The stage of
the water in the Mississippi was
raised to point subjecting the lands
in question, known as the Green Bay
district, to overflow.
The section contains the homes
and properties of some Of the oldest
and most prominent families of the
state.
Property Owners Flight. .
Before the drainage district was
proposed the power company started
to buy up the Green bay land and in
stituted condemnation proceedings.
under congressional charter for the
construction of the dam, in several
instances. Later the drainage pro-
ject was requested. the power COM
pany and associate owners at that
time having close to third of the
land in question.
Believing that they were about to
be forced to pay for the improve
ments Of the corporations land, and
remedy damage created by the pow
er company, the farmers resisted the
district and for two years have fought
1t of, organizing, retaining counsel,
and carrying their contentious even
to Washington, D. c.
Reach Satisfactory Agreement.
In the last few months the power
company has made concessions and
the plans Of the district changed to
be agreeable to both sides and the
order Of the supervisors was at the
recommendation of practically all
parties interested.
