Inman Drainage — (Continued from Page 1) the corner located one rrnle north of Chris Rentier's. —It was reported that Kenneth Smith would be willing to have the fence removed on the east side of the road south of the rail road track if the trees in the ditches were removed and trans planted in a nearby grove. —That the township board should take steps to officially abandon the Van grade to open the drainage - way under the railroad track. The dirt from the Van grade should then he made available to build up the grade going south from the track. It wm brought out at the meeting that since the general drainage pattern from the south and west of Inman Is In a north east direction, water can be routed down the road ditches one mile east and mile north. In each ca#*e, without taking the water very far from Its natural water course. To avoid the dangers of road and bridge damage during the times of excessive rain and in the early spring when the road ditches are full of snow and ice, however, at least one culvert should be placed under the grade in each mile to allow the water to follow the natural water courses across the native grass meadows. At least one property owner in the area Is already displeased be cause the water is not allowed to run across his land in the natural course and that the water table on two sid:'s of the land had been lowered to approximately five feet Since funds are not readily available, the committee was then adjourned until such a time as it is thought possible economically to continue the cor rection of the drainage problem in the Inman area.
