The opinion

Concurring Opinion

Achor, J.

I concur in the majority opinion insofar as it confirms the constitutionality of the Conservancy Act of Indiana [Acts 1957, ch. 808, p. 851, being §§27-1501 — 27-1599, Burns’ 1957 Cum. Supp.] and sustains the validity of the Ben Davis Conservancy District under that Act.
