208 ENGINEERING FOR LAND DRAINAGE. 



Mutual Cooperative D7 ainage. 



The same principles of work may be applied to small 

 drainage schemes as those which are employed ni 

 drainage districts in which it is not necessary to woik 

 under legal restrictions. In other words, it may be a 

 partnership plan, mutually arranged and agreed upon, 

 from which will result the same advantages x^ithout in- 

 curring the delay and expense involved in operating 

 under the statute. 



A plan, estimate, and assessment may be submitted 

 by the engineer, made out by drainage-district methods 

 and submitted to the parties concerned for their con- 

 currence. If it is acceded to, nothing stands in the 

 way of entering into an agreement and executing the 

 work according to the accepted plans, in which case 

 the necessary expenses will be reduced to a minimum. 

 This is a commendable method when interested parties 

 can agree.
