Drainage Districts Gain State Funding Hopes
The State Conservation Commission may fund the Marais des Cygnes Drainage District No. 1 along the river west of Ottawa after a Monday hearing on its budget. Denny Burgess, district lobbyist, cited previous attempts and a 1984 appropriation of 25 000 dollars that helped finish an initial structure costing about 46 000 dollars. The district plans 18 small dams to retain flood water over an estimated 25 years, with support from the Kansas Water Office advisory committee and local officials.
