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 this Both day of August, 1916,
the Commissioners of the above
entitled district filed in the office
of the Clerk of this Court their
annual report as commissioners for
the year 1916 and in such report
showed that they had on hand with
the County Treasurer at the COM
mencement of the year 1945 the
sum of three hundred sixty eight
and 79-1OO dollars (S368.79), and
that the amount of One thousand
one hundred seventy-one and 95-1O0
($1171.95) has since been received
through assessments. That their
disbursements for repairs and ad-
ministrative expenses for the year
1915 amounted to three hundred
siXty-one and 25-100 (S361.25) and
that they now have on deposit with
the County Treasurer to the credit
of the district the sum of one
thousand one hundred seventy-nine
and 49-1OO (%S1179.49). That this
report is accompanied by an assess
ment roll to be made in the year
1916 whereby the district seeks to
raise the sum of one thousand five
and 67-1OO (S10O5.6T. This ass
sessment roll is in accordance with
and follows the same plan of the
last assessment roll which was sub
mitted by the commissioners in 1912
and approved by the court. That
under this proposed assessment roll
a levy will be made upon Yellow
stone County for the amount of
$100.57 for drainage of highways;
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 n hundred per cent.
And in those cases where the bene-
fits derived by the drainage sys-
tenn 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 IN an area basis and in ac-
cordance with the benefits received
determined by the County Drain
Commissioner at the time of the
establishment of the drainage dis
trict. The commissioners in said
report state that this amount is
necessary for administrative ex-
penses and anticipated repairs and
cleaning out of the drain during
the year 1916. 1t is believed that
the amount obtained by this asses
sment will be sufficient to take
of such expenses so that no
levy will need to be made until
1913.
The commissioners in their re-
port set forth that the term of
Tim Reardon as commissioner ex-
pired May, 1916, and the two re-
naming commissioners have select
ed him to succeed himself as such
commissioner for a term of three
years and they ask for his election
to be ratified by the Court.
Inc nearing upon CnlS report ana
assessment roll will be had on the
10th day of September, 1916, at ten
in the forenoon of said day
at the courtroom of the Yellowstone
Courthouse in Billings, Mon
ANA at which time any interested
