The board OF supervisors had before
1t today two important drainage prop
ositions and 1t was expected that be-
fore adjournment was taken this even
ing the plans and specifications for
one would be approved and bids would
be opened and the contract let for an
other.
The county board was considering
the plans and specifications for the
proposed Iowa river valley drainage
district, the object Of which Is to re-
lieve the lowlands along the river from
flood water, embracing the valley ter
ritory from the Marshall Hardin coun-
ty line to this city, and it was expect
ed the engineers plans would be adopt
ed.
Later the board was to open BIDS
and let the contract for State Center
highway drainage district No. 2, which
is to drain a very large acreage In Sec
lions ., 6. Z, s and II. State Center
township.
New Channel For River.
The Iowa drainage district project
would include the re-channeling Of the
Iowa river, to straighten the stream and
eliminate danger floods during spring
freshets.
There have been filed many objec-
tions to the proposed district and the
claims filed run up to nearly 100000.
It is believed however, that the i'm
provement would result in a saving to
property in Il few years far in excess
of any damage tina. might directly re-
suit from the change
The engineer placed the total acre
age to be used FOR the channel at 200
and estimated the average value at $50.
The board of appraisers made no gen.
eral appraisal but considered the cases
Of the claimants separately. The land
involved was appraised at prices rang
ing from $50 to 500. with an average
price Of about SIS. Many claims were
not allowed and many others were
greatly reduced.
There seemed little doubt today that
the board would establish the district
and approve the engineers plans.
State Center Project Ready.
The State Center township project
has been established, damages have
been fixed and the plans and specifi-
cations approved. The bids for the
work were to be opened this after
noon and the contract awarded. The
State Center drain is not nearly as
large a project as the Iowa river dis
trict and there were not the great
number Of DIRECTORS and the resultant
heavy damages to be incurred.
