REP. R0FKAR EXPL AIMS new BILL
AFFECTING OHIO DRAINAGE LAWS

Last week Representative Viii
liam Rofkar attended a legislative
service commission meeting at the
state capitol, which reviewed
proposed bill to improve drainage
laws in Ohio.
1t is hoped that something con-
structive can be developed from
this bill, as the subject of improv-
ing obsolete drainage laws has been
a personal headache for legislators,
commissioners and engineers and
landowners for the past 20 years.
Actually, the present law pro-
hibits the use of substantial
amounts of water for any purpose,
if taken from a county or township
ditch. A landowner can be re-
strained by downstream landown-
ers from using such water for ir-
rigation purposes or recharglng
surface storage ponds; the down
stream owner may not be using
any of the ditch water.
Another problem involved in the
present law is related to who shall
be assessed for improvements.
Benefits will be spelled out in the
proposed law. Under the existing
law a section of drainage can be
attached to a public ditch without
regard of hardships and damages
to owners of land downstream. The
new law proposes to create a
watershed area for assessment pur.
poses, which won't leave down.
stream landowners with flooded
land and all of the cost of cleaning
or widening. In any proposed ex
tension of drainage in the upper
sections of the ditch, consideration
must be given to the ability of the
present drainage to handle the ex
ira water.
Frequently public owned lands
are involved in drainage problems
Under the present law there is nc
Ottawa County news. (Port Clinton, Ohio) 1931-1956, 1955-12-16

assurance that the political subdi-
vision will pay a fair share of the
assessment. 1t is possible for a
newly constructed highway to
dump a large amount of water in
a drainage ditch without considera-
ton of its capacity.
An expensive defect in the pres
ent law is in the management of
bitches, a ditch is constructed or
cleaned then neglected until silt
ing, landslides and brush create
nardships for the adjoining farm
land, then an expensive and large
scale cleaning operation is requir
ed. The new bill proposes to de-
vSlop a 10 foot grassed access strip
along the ditch bank from which
maintenance equipment can be op-
Grated each year. This will provide
for removing silt, damaged outlets,
landslides and killing brush with
spray. Maintenance of ditch
ought to be a planned operation
similar to the upkeep of a public
highway.
It is proposed in the new bill
that landowners assessment will
be reduced an amount that he per-
sonally applies to the maintenance
of a public ditch which flows along
his property. This must be ap.
proved by the ditch engineer. 1t is
also proposed that the assessment
will be reduced for any land to
which the owner has applied ap-
proved water conservation mea-
sures. This approval shall come
from the local soil conservation
district.
Persons owning land which is in
volved in public ditch drainage
should study the proposed law
carefully. This particular bill will
be introduced in 1857, landowners
can get more constructive ideas in

According to OSU Econogram -

Grain under purchase agreement is

the problem of providing normal
life for retarded child, who can't
handle regular school. And that's
why we're happy to hear that the

fully. A lot of people in this area
may not know such help is avail
able.
The children, who range in age
from six to 18, go to school daily
from 8 to 2. Two teachers are in
charge, and mothers come in at
noon to help out. Twenty children
are currently enrolled. One former
Port Clintonite with son enrolled

about it. Mrs. Clifford Wonderly,
