GOTHENBURG, Neb., Feb. 11.-(Special)
The directors of the Lincoln and Dawson
county irrigation district met yesterday and
opened the bids for the sale of the $275 900
of bonds to be issued upon that district for
the construction of fifty miles of main
canal and twenty-five miles of laterals. The
only bid considered legal by the board was
made by l. E. Doty of David City in per-
son, who bid 95 cents on the dollar for the
bonds, with the understanding that he was
struction of said canal, and in case he
failed to receive the contract to build said
canal his bid should not be considered. The
board rejected all bids.
During the past week Il. c. Kinney, hy-
drauc engineer and general manager of
the West Gallatin Irrigation company of
Manhattan, Mont, resurveyed and checked
up the previous surveys made by the sur
veyors irI charge of the Lincoln and Dawson
county irrigation canal, and reported that
the s275,000 worth of bonds voted upon
the district, IL sold at 95 cents on the dol
lar. would furnish ample means for the COM
petion OF the canal and that the canal was
practical and that the cost Of irrigation per
acre in this district was below the average.
However, he advises that a hydraulic en-
gneer resurvey the line and furnish plans
and specifications for it's construction. The
report was read by the board today but not
