In the matter of the Green Bay
Levee and Drainage district, No 2,
the board passed the following reso-
Tuition, Supervisor DeRosear voting
aye, Supervisor Maxwell voting aye,
and Supervisor kammerer voting
aye, to-wit:
Whereas, The first assessment
made by the board of supervisors for
the original cost of Green Bay Levee
Drainage district, including the
pumping station, is insufficient by
reason of the abnormal conditions in
the material and labor markets. Gre
ated by the present war, and not
through any error, default or neglect
on the part of the board, the engi-
neer or anyone connected with the
district; and
Whereas, The engineer, Edmund
T. Perkins, has, in a written report
on file in the auditors office, esti-
in addition the amount Of the first
assessment, to complete the i'm
provement; and
Whereas, AS the work has pro
crossed and the lands within the
district have already been partially
drained, reclaimed and improved, II
has become apparent that the lands
within the district and benefited by
the improvement will receive greater
benefits than the first assessment;
and
Whereas, The board is of the opin
ion that an additional assessment OF
benefits and costs should be made
upon such lands as are benefited,
Therefore, be it resolved by the
board of supervisors of Lee county
Iowa, That Edmund T. Perkins, {
competent engineer, and J. P. Cruik
shank and E. t. Mckee. both o.
whom are freeholders of the state
not living within the levee and drain
age district and not interested there
in. or in a like question, and not re
lated to any party whose land is af
lfected thereby, be appointed benefit
commissioners to personally inspect
