ORDER SETTING HEARING

ORDER SETTING HEARING
IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF
THE THIRTEENTH JUDICIAL
DISTRICT OF THE STATE OF
MONTANA, IN AND FOR THE
COUNTY OF YELLOWSTONE.
In the Matter of the NUTTING
DRAINAGE DISTRICT.
On May "a, 1916 the commits
sioners of the ab~ove-entitled district
filed in the office of the Clerk of
this Court their annual report as
commissioners for the year 1914,
and in such report showed that they
had on hand with the County Treas
urer at the commencement of the
year 1914 the sum of One Thousand
Forty-two and 37/100 dollars ISL
042.3O. That their disbursements
for repairs and administrative ex-
penses for the year 1914 amounted
to Six Hundred Seventy-four and
55/100 dollars (S674.55) and that
they now have on deposit with the
County Treasurer to the credit of
the district the sum of Three Hun
dred Sixty-eight and 79/100 dollars
($368.79). That this report is ac-
companied by an assessment roll to
be made in the year 1915 whereby
the district seeks to raise the sum
of One Thousand One Hundred Fiji
teen and 07/100 dollars ($1,115.07).
This assessment roll is in accord
ance with and follows the same plan
of the last assessment roll which
in 1912 and approved by the court.
That under this proposed assess
ment roll a levy will be made upon
Yellowstone County for the amount
of S109.51 for drainage of high
ways; an assessment will be made
on the Big Ditch Company's right
of-way for $3.50; an assessment
will be made on the Billings Bench
Water Users Association for $685.
and on the Yellowstone Canyon
Creek Ditch Company for its right
of-way in the amount of $16.10. All
of the lands in said district will be
taxed at the rate of fifty cents an
acre where the benefit derived from
the system is one hundred per cent.
And in those cases where the bene-
fits derived by the drainage system
was determined to be fifty per cent
then the assessment will be at the
rate of twenty-five cents per acre.
All the assessments are made on
area basis and in accordance
the benefits received as de-
termined by the County Drain Com
at the time of the estab-
lishment of the drainage district.
The commissioners in said report
state that this amount is necessary
for administrative expenses and an
ticipated repairs and cleaning out
of the drain during the years 1915
and 1916. 1t is believed that the
amount obtained by this assessment
will be sufficient to take care of
such expenses so that no levy will
need to be made until 1947.
The commissioners in their report
set forth that the term of Paul E.
Roman as commissioner will expire
his month and the two remaining
commissioners have selected him to
succeed himself as such commits
,ioner for a term of three years and
hey ask for his election to be rati-
led by the court.
The hearing upon this report and
assessment roll will be had on June
Il, 1915 at ten o'clock in the fore
loon of said day at the courtroom
# the Yellowstone County Court
in Billings, Montana at which
any interested party may ap-
,ear and be heard with reference
o any matters concerning such
assessment, report and petition.
1t is ordered that a copy of this
rider be published in the next two
ssues of the Laurel Outlook, a
e wspaper published at Laurel,
dontana, and such publication is
lereby determined to be sufficient
office of such hearing. The Clerk
hall also post a copy of this order
n three public places in the County
t least ten days before the day of
caring.
Dated this 25th day of May, 1915.
