Woodbine, Iowa, Sept. 6, 1905
As some of the old line COM
panies have decided to write
FARM and TOWN DWELL
ING RISKS at a cheaper rate
than any time in the past IL
years, while in Des Moines the
first of this month l secured
permission from the Hawkeye
and Des Moines Insurance COM
panies to write at risks the fol-
lowing rates for a 5 year policy:
On Farm property $1.75 per
hundred for Fire, and Lighting,
or $3.50 per hundred, for Fire,
Lightning, High, Wind, cyclones
and tornadoes for a five year
policy, and NO POICY FEE; the
old rate having been $500 and
$500 resptively.
On town dwelling 81 per hum
dred for fire and lightning, or
$1.75 for fire lightning, high
wind, cyclones and tornadoes,
for a five year policy and no
policy fee; the old rate having
been 81. 20 and $1.95 respect
lively.
The reason for this reduction
is because there are so many
LEAVING THE MUTUAL
COMPANIES all over the state
that the old line companies have
decided to return to the SAME

years ago, when so many NUT
uals started. Farmers through

SUIT BROUGHT ATTACKING
THE DRAINAGE DITCH
LAW
Attorney Says Northwestern
Road Seeks to Prevent Elk.
tortlnG Excessive Amount
Bids for the Work Of CcnstruC-
tlon Are to Be Resolved Up
to September IS
Council Bluffs Dept. World
Herald, Sept. 10: The Chicago
& Northwestern Railroad COM
pany began suit in the dis
trict court yesterday against
Harrison and Pottawattamie
counties, the boards of super
visors of both counties and the
signers of the petition for the
Harrison Pottawattamie drain
age ditch attacking the consti-
nationality of the drainage
ditch law and the validity of
all the proceedings which have
been taken thus far toward the
construction of the system of
bitches, the contracts for which
are to be awarded this month.
The Northwestern was al
lowed damages on account of
the construction of the bitches
to the amount of $38, 900 on ac-
count of the fact that it will
be compelled to construct sew
eral expensive bridges. 1t ac-
cepted this award, and C. M.
Harl, one of the Northwestern
attorneys here, explained yes
terdoy afternoon that the pres
ent action of the company is
designed only to protect the
company against excessive as
SesSment for the costs of con-
STRUGGLING the bitches.
The assessment or apportion-
ment of the cost of the bitches
upon the property benefited
has not yet been made. There
is said to be quite a sentiment,
especially in Harrison county,
in favor as assessing the North
western heavily on the ground
that it will be benefited by the
increased traffic which will re-
suit from the redemption of
overfowed lands and the conse-
quent increase in crops. Were
the company to make no pro-
test it would be absolutely
bound, its attorneys say, by the
assessment of benefits" and
the present suit is for the pur-
pose of preserving the COM
pany's right to question the le-
gality of the law in case of
what it may consider an ex-
cessive assessment. Said Mr..
Harl.
"The company has no desire
to prevent the construction of
bitches which seem to be desir-
able to the property owners of
the drainage district. 1t is
willing the bitches shall be con-
structed. 1t is satisfied with
the award of damages and is
bringing the suit filed today
merely to protect itself against
a possible disposition to extort
an excessive amount as it's
share of the constructing of the
ditches."
Bids for the construction of
the Harrison Pottawattamie
bitches are to be in the hands
of the county auditors of both
counties by noon, September
lS, and are to be opened at a
joint meeting of the two boards
of supervisors at 10 a. M, Sep
TENDER 10. This interval be-
tween the time when the bids
must be presented and when
they are to be opened has caused
considerable dissatisfaction on
the part of contractors. 1t was
stated. in answer tn inn,1irioc

figure given by Dean, they will
probably be rejected altogether
I, and a Reimbursement made.
/, There is every indication of
lively competition for the work.
] Inquiries have thus far been
received from w. d. Lowell,
Minneapolis; VIM. Wheeler G.
Co., Des Moines; r. A. Brown
& Co., Washington and Vincen-
mes, Ind; Frank C. Youmans,
Kansas City; j. G. White & Co.,
New York City; a firm in Ma
toon, ILL.,, and some others, in
cluding a number of local con-
tractors. Brown & Co., the
Indiana men, secured the con-
tract for the Willow creek and
Allen creek bitches before the
former ditch law was declared
Unconstitutional.
The specifications upon which
bids are asked divide the work
into four sections, aggregating
about one and a half million
cubic yards. The sections are
as follows:
Section / (Willow creek) Al, ;
$50 feet long; 647,688 cubic
yards. Must be completed by
November l, 1906.
Section 2 (Allen creek), 3d.
418 feet long; $751; 73 cubic
yards. Must be completed by
November l, 1906.
Section 3 Boyer Cutoff No.
u, 22,2l1 feet long; 2l7,507
cubic yards. Must be COM
pleted by September l, 1906.
section 4 Boyer Cutoff No.
p, 7,774 feet long; lO6,976 Gu
bic yards. Must be completed
by August l, 1906.
1t will be observed that the
specifications require the COM
pletion of the lower part of the
ditch system before the Willow
creek and Allen creek bitches.
The specifications call for
considerable miscellaneous in
formation as a guide to the SUI
pervisors in awarding the con-
tract; for example, when and
where firms bidding were in
corporated, the amount of their
capital stock, probable amounts
of contracts now under con-
struction or accepted, excavat-
ing machinery owned, number
of teams employed and when
the bidder expects to complete
the work if given the contract.
