Deeded land lost West line of 40 acre tracts through by erosion of the Missouri River, urn- the center of the district, the zone' mnts to imore than ,3,000 acres, in- eluding about 2,000 town lots. At. unci beiow Dakota City, for about two miles, the River has cut back toward the West, almost uniformly, a dist- ance of lYr miles, leaving tho pres- ent shore nearly parallel with the Government meander. , , The present river channel follows an easy purve past Dakota City, thence through the center chute ly- ing between large sand bars,' which nearly close the lower part of this linnrl A wedge shaped sloping sand bar is building out from the Iowa shore above Dakota City just below the "- point, wncrc tne channel crosses to the tteforaskn shore: th s causes sev- ere cutting it and above town, wheve results as follows: Rail oads, $51, a great; j.uccion eddy is cutting bai'k 750.00.

The benefits are far greater than the estimated cost. The apportion irient of benefits is based upon a sys tem of zones and the classification ot lands. The greatest benefit Is nt the benefits per acre Are, 521.0). 519.00. $11.40, $9.00. $6.80, $5.20, S3.RJ, $2.20, $2.00, $1.20, $1,00, 8Cc and 00c. This shows the total maximum benefits at the riv.er to be $24.00, on the next 40 acre tract wtf find $19.00' and, the next $14.60, etc. In addition to this rcp'.vL, I have prepared a blueprint map and list of benefits, which I have tiled nt the office of the County Cleik for in- f,pection of all interested pa tics, The total maximum benefits are cs- ilnintnrl nnrl fivnrl nt S1 fiO t(C 00 Tim ,.. .. w..v .wi .... v.wiu.rvwut ..v work here outlined and planned will cost less than $147,000.00 which Was the original maximum cst'mate.
