of water. State of Indiana. Department of Natural Resources, Indianapolis. July 1974. The State of Indiana is not opposed to the clean out of the ditches in general. The department of natural resources granted approval for the clean out of Swick ditch in 1963 subject to the condition that a concrete sill be constructed to maintain Loon Lake at its legally established level. It would be best to consult Charles Brower.

Kosciusko county surveyor concerning why this ditch has not been cleaned. END Quote. The taxpayers of Beaver Dam Lake do not object to paying this assessment if the cleaning job is done, it has not. I recall a city budget that was submitted before a city council, of which I was a member. It contained an amount of money for the purpose of buying ice for each of the fire stations in the city. I became suspicious of this item and called at all of the stations. Guess What? Not a one of the fire stations had an ice box; they were all electric. Why did the budget carry this item? The amount provided cash funds that could be used for other purposes. This goes on and on, year after year and the taxpayers pay and pay The drainage board for Kosciusko county tells us taxpayers that this assessment for upkeep runs for four years and all remonstrances must be in writing to the board five days prior to hearing* Well, board members you have got your notice and I am challenging you to tell the taxpayers of Beaver Dam Lake what you are doing with this tax ma.ey. I am sure your answer to this letter will be published in lexers to the editor. For tk. taxpayers of Beaver Dam Lake. Lionel L. Harm i son.
