COMMISSIONERS ELECTED
At the election Mondav of last
week the following gentlemen
were elected commissioners of
Buffalo Drainage District No. 1:
A. H. Cliue, J. Bnnyan Rhine,
W. R. Newtoc, Martin Roberts.
P. C. Lavender. These men were
elected without an opposing
ticket and the board stands the
same as last year with the ex
ception of Mr. Roberts who suc
ceeds Mr, Borders.
Mr. Newton, secretary of the
board says there Is about $12,000
in the treasury and partr of this
money will be used this year -to
pay on the assessments on the
land owners. It to thought that
fie surplus in the treasury will
be used to meet half of the as
sesments of the land owners.
The first year's tax was paid
from the surplus left after the
work was completed. Last, year
the land owners paid full asses
ment. This year they will pay
about half and still have enough'
left in the treasury to meet a
part of another assessment later
on. -. .;
Crons in the Rnffuln rilatrlnf.
are aaid to be fina thia imp h
loom yield being exceptionally
gooawneretne lands were not
covered it!i silt and could be
cultivated. The floods of last
year' wrought havoc with thou-
sanas pi acres oi line oottom. '
