Jim MacDonald does not see that he has any benefit from the drain and should not be assessed. Mr. Spriet shows him the portion of his property which benefits. He also recommends that a further petition be presented for those persons easterly f'rcm the railroad property to improve that area. Wilfoid Burwell requests that a branch be provided to give outlet to a low spot on the Baptist Church property.
