That the proceedings for the estab-

bered 1O2, 1913 and 80 are for the estab-
|llShment Of open public bitches, and
that the waters from said bitches will
empty into a. water course known as

of said bitches is likely to7Scause, by
reason of the waters added to said Ri
yer, the overflow OF the waters there
Of and .the inundation of great areas
Of adjoining land. szs q
That said Thief River IS small. mars
row, crooked and sluggish stream, in
shed or OF furnishing an adequate out
let either for 4Sthe waters which natur-
ally flow into it or8for the waters pro-
posed to be added thereto by said
bitches. I
That said River needs and requires
Improvement and control for the pur-
pose Of furnishing an outlet for the
waters proposed osbe added thereto by,
everflowing and inundating great areas
|of land adjoining it's banks. s.ff5SE
That the Improvement and control of
said stream as an, outlet for said
it therefrom will be a public benefit

health, and protect the lands adjoining
said stream from overflow and inunda-
the waters from said proposed bitches.
Wherefore your petitioners pray that

ment Of said Judicial bitches numbered

so as to furnish a proper outlet for all
the waters Of the basin and drainage
area that NATURALLY drain or are led by
bitches into said Thief River, and that
the cost Of constructing said outlet be
borne by all the lands to be benefited
thereby, and that in order to equitably
apportion the cost Of the construction
of the said improvement and the ex-
tension Of said outlet to all the lands
to be benefited thereby it is necessary
that said proceedings be merged and
|consolidated; and your petitioners fur
ther pray that the court make an order
fixing g time and place for the hearing
upon this petition and ordering all
proceedings now pending in said JUDI
icial Ditch proceedings numbered 1O2.
