Reserved by ooxernment.

Reserved by Government.
It appears that when tho state Of
Iowa was first surveyed by govern
ment engineers there were about one
hundred bodies of water, known as
meandering lakes, which were re-
served to the government, and later
transferred to the state when ad-
mitted to the union. In plating
ground about these hundred lakes,
title was given under patents Gnly
to the waters edge; in other lakes
and ponds in the state tho grounds
were plated as though no water was
Joining received title to the ground
covered by the water to the section
lines. Some Of these lakes were
since drained and the land sold by
the state. In recent years 1T appears
there was some question ds to the
macticability Of draining the lakes,
and so the legislature at It's last ses-
sion ordered all drainage work on
these lakes suspended Cor q period
Of two years, in which time tie lakes
were to be surveyed by competent
engineers, the views Of the people In
the community ascertained and
recommendations as to tha conserv-
ing or disposition Of waters made.
While making such surveys these
engineers were also instructed to plat
the new boundaries of the waters.
Eote the amount Of land lost or
gained by the state, establish perma-
nent bench marks, etc.
Technically speaking, therefore;
Mr.. Clyde's business in Fort Madison
was to recommend whether Green
Bay was of more benefit to remain
4 ~ - - 1,oN
put to agricultural uses, or the
made to create greater benefit to
the community.
Idea q New One.
Mr.. Clyde stated that the idea Of
including Green Bays 271 acres in
giant drainage scheme was 80 dis
tinctly new to him that he did not
care to venture a suggestion as to
what stand the state would take. The
and control OF all state
waters, their change, disposition, ETC.,
lie with the executive council. So
far as indicated the states interests
in the properties involved in the
Green Bay drainage have never been
given consideration, yet its powers
and rights seem to be such that the
state could exert its interest to
very marked degree. Mr.. Clyde says
he does not anticipate any objections
on the part OF the executive council
to the establishm emit Of the Green
Bay drainage district, although It
will undoubtedly examine the entire
matter thoroughly, as to game rights,
possible damages, etc., Immediately
upon receipt of his report that the
water is about to form part OF the
drainage scheme. The law passed
by the last legislature prohibiting
any drainage of state waters, specifi-
cally Green Bay and the other hun
dred lakes in the state, is not, off
tand, taken to be prohibitive to the
drainage as contemplated here, but
rather for draining away Of all the
waters and using the bed for farm
purposes.
The letter from the war depart
ment, granting federal rights for the
Of the Green Bay drain
age district, noted that the permits
sion did not encompass the assent of
the state, indicating that state con-
