DRAINAGE OF WET LANDS.
On motion by Mr. KRAMER, the bill [H. R. 147--see page 124 of this volume] to enable owners of wet lands to drain and reclaim them. when the same can not be done without affecting the lands of others, was read the second time by title only, under a dispensation of the constitutional restriction, with a report of a Senate Committee proposing amendments, which were adopted.
Mr. HOSTETTER offered an amendment that will require the County Surveyor to go out and inspect the work instead of the three provided for in the bill, who would have to employ a regular surveyor to do the work anyhow. He said the House Committee consent to this amendment, and he hoped it would prevail.
The amendment was agreed to.
The Senate amendments were ordered engrossed.
