RESOLUTION To the Honorable Board of Supervis ors of Holt County, Nebraska: You are hereby notified that the natural flow and drain from sections 33, 34, 27 and 26 in Township 30, Range 15, is from the southwest to the northeast and that there is a natural depression and stream of water that flows through sections 33 and 34 and 27 and 26 and that said stream empties into the Elkhorn riv er in said section 26, in the township and range aforesaid. That there is a regular highway running between sections 27 and 34 in the aforesaid range and township and running east and west of said sections 27 and 34 and that said stream and drain of said water from the southwest to the northeast and which empties into the Elkhorn river in section 26, crosses said highway from section 34 to sec tion 27 in the aforesaid township and range and on said highway at the point where said water flows and crosses Holt County had built and es tablished a bridge so as to pemit the water to follow its natural course and drain. That the water flowing in its nat ural way and across said section line and through and under said bridge carried with it, with the spring fresh ets and rain, sediment that accumu lated under the bridge and constant ly kept accumulating until it filled up under the said bridge so high that it will not permit the water to fol low its natural course and the town ship have dug a ditch along the south line of the highway east and west and along the side of said bridge deeper than the natural drain and that they, by reason thereof and by reason of the filling up of the drain and space under the bridge, it car This Fraction I Cook Book more than 90 excel recipes—bread, muffins, cakes and pastry—will be mailed on request to users of K C Baking Powder.

That if said drain was cleaned out from under said bridge and said bridge and said ditch on the south side of said highway filled up to the natural level of the water bed before it was distorted all of said water would pass through and under said bridge in the natural course of said drainage and none of said water would go east on the south side of the highway that runs east between sections 27, 34, 26 and 35, township 30, range 15, in this county, and we respectfuly request this honorable body to take immediate action to re move and cause to be removed all dirt and refuse that h&s accumulated under said bridge and which prevents said bridge from functioning as a bridge and drain to the great dam age of the undersigned persons and that the ditch along said highway be so arranged and adjusted so as to permit and cause said water to flow in its natural course under said bridge instead of to the east along the south side of said highway; that in the flow in its natural course it (Continued on page 3) Wi.1 you come in your car, to Conoco land this Summer? • • • 1 XV CONOC O Travel llureau anti Passport Service • • • Free to Vacation Motorists CONOGOLAND is America's most popular summer vacation land.
