we hereby prote~i the formation of DrainaGe District -- Resolution 73-61

• be decided by vote of persons r~ithin the district; the method of
assessment for drainage is rot equitable, in that it bears no rela.ticn-

voice in this matter, which is unfair.

not here to protest, I am here to protest the protesters and raise my
hand as one o.f the people in Paradise who asked the Board of Supervisors
