cause its certain supplemental petition
or additional assessment, in which the
said Board prays to the Court to make
IN additional levy and assessment
lpon all lands contained in the said
District of $500 per acre upon all
ands therein, other than railroad
'ights-of-way and upon railroad
'ights-of-way therein in the same ratio
hat such railroad rights-of-w have
been heretofore assessed, in proportion
o such other lands. Said supplement-
II petition and report as filed is as
'ollows:
"The undersigned, Frank Clapp,
A. J. Kent, and Wyman Hoagland,
commissioners of Drainage District
No 1 of Boundary County, Idaho,
submit to the Court the following
further report of petitioners:
Heretofore, and under date of
February 18th, 1921, said commits
sioners filed herein their report as
required by law and thereupon such
proceedings in this Court were duly
had and done with the result that
the said report was upon notice
duly given, heard for confirmation
and was by the Court duly CON
firmed by decree made and entered
herein on the 21st day of March,
1921, and pursuant thereto all mat
ters and things have been had and
done to the end and with the result
that an assessment of $325016 per
acre upon all lands in said district
other than railroad rights-of-w
and of $1S1464 upon lands included
in such railroad rights-of-w has
been made and established; refer
ence to the records and files here
in and in the office of the county
auditor and recorder being hereby
made.
In the said proceedings above re-
ferred to, the estimated cost of the
proposed work. including all Incl
dental expenses and the cost of pro
ceedings therefor, is fixed in the
sum of $146, 1884, which estimate
was made upon the report and esti-
mate to the said Board of Commits
sioners of its engineer as to guam.
titles and costs of work
Thereafter the said Board of Com
missioners advertised for bids for
the construction of said contem-
plated work, and as a result there
of obtained as the best offer and
bid therefor upon the unit basis
of construction and upon the esti-
mate of quantities made by the en-
gineer of this Board, the sum of
$161, 230.40.
1t is the judgment of your petit
TONERS, and they so report to the
Court, that the said bid is the best
that can be obtained and that it
represents no more than the fair
and reasonable costs of such con-
struction. Your petitioners further
show to the Court that the cost of
such construction will need to be
met by the issuance of bonds of the
said Drainage District No. /, and
that under the statute in such cases
made and provided bonds can not
be issued in excess of ninety per
cent of the assessments levied
against the lands of the district and
your petitioners further show to the
court that the incidental expenses
and cost of proceedings will be
larger than originally contemplated.
v.
BY reason of the above facts it is
imperatively necessary, in order
that the contemplated improve
ments of said Drainage District be
made, that an additional levy and
assessment be made, and petitioners
further show to the Court that until
such additional levy and assessment
is made it is not possible for the
district to go ahead and complete
any part of its system of improve
ments, because the completion of
the whole is essential to the value
of any part thereof.
vi.
Your petitioners further show to
the Court that in their judgment
an additional levy and assessment
of $500 per acre upon all lands
other than railroad rights-ofw
and upon lands in such rights-of-
way in the same proportion as
above shown, is essential to pro-
vide for the said costs of construc-
ton Of proposed work, including in
cidental expenses and cost of pro-
ceedings and collection. Your petit
TONERS further show to the Court
that their best estimate of the value
OF benefits conferred upon lands in
said district, other than railroad
rights-of-w by the contemplated
improvement is $4,000 per acre,
and that the total of assessment
and levy heretofore made, plus the
levy hereby petitioned for, will be
S475016 per acre, on lands other
than said rights-of-way, which is
less than one-third of the total es-
timated benefits.
WHEREOF, your petitioners \
pray that upon the filing of this I
petition, the Court will make its
Order fixing time and place when /
and where all persons interested |
may appear and contest the confir-
nation of this petition and report,
and that notice thereof shall be |
