1DissentFellows, J.
This record aptly discloses the effect, the practical working out of this statute. Lands were returned for special assessments on the South Carl drain in the amount of $4,750.88, and but $22.08 of this amount has since been paid. Some of the descriptions have been deeded to the State and others probably will be. This leaves $4,728.80 which has been assessed against the lands of individual owners unpaid, and if the legislation is valid will require the county of Midland to pay from moneys raised for general purposes of the county this sum with almost a certainty of never being reimbursed.…
