Address Joseph A. LAWRENCE Lawrenceton, Ste. Gen. Co., Mo. It is estimated that there are about 35,000 acres of land in the bottom, and the total cost of the levee will be between 50 and $75,000 which is only about $1.50 to $2.00 per acre for the land benefited. In consideration of the great benefits to be derived from a protection from overflow, this is but a trifle, it being estimated that the land owners sustained damages to the amount of $200,000 this year alone from the high water. They do not ask the Co. at large to pay a cent of the cost of building the levee; they only desire the Court to make the necessary legal orders to insure the collection of the money and to superintend the expenditure of it. This is the way to go about it. The men who own the lands are the ones benefited and they should pay the cost. To our mind, this is the way our Big Field land owners should proceed if they expect to accomplish anything, and this afternoon is the time and the Court House is the place to talk about it. ==== MOSTEGEN Mailing List ==== To change the form you receive messages in (digest or mail mode), refer to your welcome letter or go to http://www.rootsweb.com/~mostegen/queries.html for instructions. ============================== Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
