Show LAKESHORE DRAINAGE DISTRICT DIS-TRICT BONDS TO BE SOLD Joseph iF. (Huff and David IB. Huff, of Lake Shore and Attorney C. M. Boyd, of Salt Lake City, were in Provo on Tuesday last perfecting the transcript for the Lake Shore drainage drain-age district, for the purpose of submitting sub-mitting same to New York parties, with whom they are negotiating the sale of their bonds. The Lake Shore and Benjamin drainage districts were begun in 1914, and according to the present plans, the district when properly drained, drain-ed, will reclaim several thousand acres of fertile land in the south end of this county, already about 1500 acres have been brought under cultivation culti-vation by the people of that district through local assessment. But this method having been taken into court and found unconstitutional, the district dis-trict ' was reorganized last year and the issue of bonds was voted upon and carried. It is expected that the system will be completed this fall. The plan has worked so well in these two districts that the people to the south of them living in Salem and Payson who have similar land to theirs, have now formed themselves into a district, and have taken steps to perfect their organization. Under' this drainage distric about 3000 acres ac-res will become agricultural land instead in-stead of pasture. . . ' There are other parts of our county coun-ty where many thousands of acres are being used for summer pasture, which could be formed into similar districts and thousands of acres of the very best sugar beet land be developed. |
