osceola County Drainage Districts
Are Having Troubles Of Their Own.
Special to Times-Republican.
Sibley, Dec. 2.-The board Of sup
ervisors have been having perplexitfes
since the establishment Of drainage
districts in the county. The Allison
township ditch is costing about four
times as much as was anticipated and
the available funds to continue the
work are rather small. AS a conse-
quence Samuel Burlington, foreman of
the work, has discharged fourteen OF
the men who were working at 1t. 1t
is estimated that two Of the land own
ers in the district will appeal to the
district court It is a puzzle to the
board as to how the money can be
raised. The law provides that drain
age district may issue bonds, but ow-
ing to the arrangements caused by the
state law the bonds would find no ready
buyers. A direct assessment can be
made on the lands but this would not
be payable until next March, or If the
land owners so choose by petition ng
for such an arrangement in time, they
can pay in In ten equal annual En-
stallments. Osceolo county people are
anxiously awaiting the outcome of the
matter.
