TO COST HALF MILLION

Engineer ~. Il. PERKINS plans and
specifications for the construction of
the Gren Bay drainage and levee
district have been filed with the
county auditor pursuant to the reso-
luton passed by the board of super
visors last Friday. From this report
the county auditor will now CLEAN a
summary sufficient to set the matter
before contractors and such informal
ton will be included in an advertise
ment for bids for the construction Of
the district, which will probably be
ordered by the board Of SUPERVISE s
at their meeting next Friday.
1t Is agreed among those In charge
OF and affected by the district that
the preliminary steps be taken as
be two years before the completion
Of the gigantic task, which win in
volve the expenditure of close to half
million dollars, it is the intent to
commence actual construction work
within ninety days. The agreement
between the power company and the
Green Bay farmers, which satisfied
final objections and smoothed the
way for the establishment of the dis
trict, provided as one of its conditions
that the work should be comm enced
within ninety days after the passage
OF the resolution ordering the district
unless legal procedure prevented. The
boards approval of this contract i'm
plies their intent to complete all pre-
liminaries within this three month
period. II the advertisements for
bids are published next week, the
filing of such bids and the awarding
of contract for construction of the
district can be had within ten days,
or longer if desired. The board may
set such date for the commencement
Of actual work as is reasonable.
The district will involve a great
amount of clerical work in addition
to the actual labor at the bay The
establishment of a drainage district
Is technical in it's details and will
entail no little labor upon the Offices
of the supervisors, auditor and en-
gineer. Just, now attention is being
given the bonding of the cost of the
construction and the preparation OF
the report of the benefit commission
ers. These commissioners, who are
the same three men who formed the
board Of appraisers. will return a re-
port showing the percentage of bene-
fit accruing to each forty acres in
the district. The law requires that
assessments be levied in amounts
proportionate to the percentage of
benefit resultant from the improve
ment. In this district, however, the
percentage of assessment shall be
governed by the agreement previously
reached between the power company
and the farmers. The supervisors
will set date for the hearing of the
report Of the benefit commissioners
and the affected parties are allowed
the same rights of appearance and
objecting to the report as they had at
the time of the hearing on the re-
port on the district itself.
