IN OF said ditch; therefore,

not interested in the construction oil
said proposed ditch or drain and not
kin to any parties interested therein,
be and are hereby appointed viewers
to view said proposed ditch or drain.
That said viewers meet at the office OF
the County Auditor at Elk Point in

~ and proceed to view said proposed
ditch or drain and report to this board
and file their report with the County
Auditor at least two weeks before the
nextregLlar session of this board, t0wit,
the September session, 1903 Said pro-
posed ditch or drain Is described as
follows: Commencing at the south
west corner Of section eight (8) and the
northwest corner of section seventeen
.[i7), twp. 80 OF range 4S, thence east 10
the Sioux River. Your petitioners
would state that when this ditch was
constructed by the county, it was made
the same width and depth for its en-
tire length, and as 1t is now there is
not sufficient fall towards the river to
carry off the water, so that with every
heavy rain or food, the water over
flows from the ditch onto the adjacent
land, thus working hardship upon
and causing great loss to your petition
ers, and we would respectfully request
your honorable body TO give prompt
and favorable attention to the matter,
and this will ever pray.
Balance of the day was spent in al
lowing accounts.
On motion, board adjourned to meet
