Whereas, "A commission was APP
pointed for the assessment of the
additional benefits and costs for tho
location and construction of Green
Bay Levee and Drainage District
No. 2, including pumping plant, and
to make equitable apportionment OF
the additional expense and costs
made necessary by the reason that
the first assessment made by the
board OF supervisors for the esti-
mated cost of the Improvement was
insufficient; and
Whereas, Said commissioners SO
appointed nave reported to the board
Of supervisors, specifying each tract
of land or lot by proper description
and the owner thereof as the same
appears on the transfer books of the
auditors office in said Lee county,
in lots or tracts of forty acfes, or
less, together with a graduated scale
Of benefits as provided by law; and
Whereas, Notice was served, as re-
quired by law, upon the owner OF
each tract of land and also upon the
person or persons in actual occu-
pancy of the land, which notice
stated the amount of special assess
ment apportioned to each one upon
each lot or tract of land, and the
day and time set for hearing the
same before the board of supervi-
sors, to-wit, the tenth day OF Decem-
Der, 1918, at 2 p. m; and
Whereas, The only objection filed
was that of o. c. and 0. e. Herming-
hansen; and
Whereas. The board of supervisors
has heard said objection, o. G. Her
minghausen appearing for the obJec-
tors and George B. Stewart for the
district, and the board heard the
DIRECTORS and their attorney and ex-
amined the objection, and being fully
advised in the premises, finds that
the assessment objected to is just
and equitable and should be con-
firmed; and
Whereas, The engineer of the dis
trict reports that the land belonging
to the Mississippi River Power COM
pany, as follows: section 8, township
6S north. range west, IL acres, as
sessed per cent, S1.S5; section 8,
township 6S north, range west, IA
acres, assessed S190, is not within
the lands of the pumping district and
should not be assessed, therefore
these two assessments are declared
null and void; a0d
Whereas, The engineer of the dis
trict reports that the acreage as
sessed as belonging TO Walter wat
son. as being 1857 acres in the
southeast part of the northeast quar-
ter of the northwest quarter of sec
ton 80, township 6S north. range 8
west is incorrect and that said acre
age should be 1873, therefore that
acreage is assessed 100 per cent, |
S172.50.
The board finds that WITH the two
exceptions above mentioned the as
sessment as reported is fair, just and |
equitable. and the same is hereby |
anproyed and confirmed, except as !,
above mentioned.

sessment is continued until the meet /
ing to be held December 16, 1918.
