The list of the various drains and the funds expended on each are listed in Miscellaneous Resolution No. 3862. Your Ways and Means Committee reviewed this matter with the Drain Commissioner on October 30, 1961. Under an amendment to the Drain Law levies for drain maintenance may not be accumulated for more than a 2-year period. Since all of the items listed in the report filed by the Drain Committee were expended prior to September 1959 there is no way to legally recover these funds. Likewise, on the expenditures for drain projects which were commenced but not completed there is a 5-year limitation and, since all of these expenditures were made more than 5 years ago e it is not legally possible to recover them. Your Committee finds that the present Drain Commissioner is not responsible for failure to spread back these drain expenditures. It is recommended that funds expended from the Drain Revolving Fund for the drain projects as set forth in Resolution No. 3862 be written off and deleted as proposed by the Drain Committee. MR. CHAIRMAN, I offer the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED that funds expended in the total amount of $30,950.80 from the Drain Revolving Fund for the drain projects listed in Miscellaneous Resolution No. 3862 be cancelled. John L. Carey (4,1 R./C. Cummings Harry W. Horton Ara.° L, Flu-14 ThoMarH-771") .j MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the Ways and Means Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
