The Board of Supervisors of Hamilton county spent two days this week In hear ing both sides of the controversy over the proposed drainage of the old Mud lake bed. This drain, as estimated by the county sur veyor, will cost about 163,000, In the remon strance filed against the proceeding, how ever. It Is stated that the work would cost fully $iO),OJO. The hearing has been Con cluded and the board will announce lis de cision within a few days. There are about 1.400 acree In this like bed. In the drainage district which' It is propoted to create fcr the purpose tf drain ing It there are 13,000 acres. Piof. D. A. Kon?, formerly of the Ames college faculty, and the other owners of the hike are ask ing that the ilralnage dlstrct be created, while the other farm residents of the pro posed district tfe bitterly opposed to it. In the hearing before the board the ownrrs of the lake bed were represented by two attorneys, while the, remonstrants bad three. The feeling between the two parties Is to Intense that the farm owners in the proposed district deem as inequitous the j lrucceuinBa i'i eue luiee owners to cxiort money from them to uid In the d.ainage of this big lake bed. At a mass meeting of farmers held a short tlmo ago In Kamrar to decide on a line of action In remonstrating with the Board of Supervisors agalnu the creation of a drainage distr.ct of Mud lake, feeling ran so high that Prof. Knit and ice ui other speakers who are desirous of ir ulnj the lake dratncJ were hlsaed tr m he . oo and- not al owed to p.ak. The ia .rers fear that .he creation of a d.umago dis trict of the Ia'e and the xurrouuding water I shed will be of such an enormous cost to them that they will have to roottgage their farms in order to pay for the big drain which It is proposed to build. The owners of the lake bed, on the other hand, assert that they cannot drain the lake bed other wise, as they cinmt purchase an outlet for a ditch should they attempt to make a pri vate drain.
