he first official step in the begin'

^county under the act of the legists-
»iTfn 0f h 191 i w “ takcn thi * week
when a board of viewers and an en
gineer were appointed by the county
pmmissloners the initial project to
r k Jl?* n •" Sumter County Drain-
I age District No. 1. A group of men
■owning land on Muckalee creek near
Americus, headed by W. J. Josey,
yho has taken the lead in the pre
liminary work, petitioned the board
to make the appointments as the first
Itep toward getting the project un-
■er way, which was done, the appoint-
■lients being as follows: Viewers,
h. Poole, R. D. Moore, and Thos.
Bell; Engineer, John R. Laum-
. The land embraced in the proposed
bstnet lies along Muckaleo south-
pstward from Myrtle Springs u
umber of miles and it is planned
* reclaim several thousand acres of
|nd. Three-fifths of the owners
nbraced in the district having sign-
I the petition, all is clear to proceed
organise, which in done under the
bpervision and authority of the Su-
rrior court. After organisation
buds to pay for the drainage work
I he undertaken are to be issued,
bndenination of land when objec-
bn is raised within the district
fovided under the law,
lat a single or small number of
roporty owners lying in the midst
a district may not block the will
the majority desiring the drain-
e work. Men interested in this
■strict believe details will be per-
I'cted so that actual work may be
larted this fall.
1 No accurate eitimate of the cost
I the work has yet been made; the
bgineer up to this time having done
nly superficial inspection. The cost,
lowever, is declared to be only a
■*>*11 fraction of the value of the
ivamp land after it is reclaimed, the
Reclaimed land constituting the very
richest and most, productive land to
e found anywhere.
Those interested in the project are
nthufiastic over jta prospect and im-
‘gnee, and they, say that once the
‘-‘Is completed and its benefits
itrated drainage will spring up
Jfrll over this section.
