A true copy of said petition is as
follows, to-wit:
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners Of Mile Laos Coun-
ty, MINI.
The undersigned, your petitioners,
would respectfully represent that it
will be of great public benefit and
utility that your Honorable Board
cause to be constructed a ditch in said
county as hereinafter described and
set forth. That the proposed ditch
the following reasons:
A-Ihat the lands for several miles
on each side of the proposed ditch in
the townships OF Princeton and Bogus
Brook, in said county, are fertile
farming lands and largely under Gull
ovation. That in wet seasons said
lands are liable to overflow from food
waters and from surface waters from
the surrounding country, drowning
out and destroying crops of large
areas of valuable lands, and render
ing large tracts of valuable hay lands
practically worthless.
B-Ihat IN many instances and
many places the town and county
roads in said townships are for the
same reasons flooded and for many
days rendered impossible.
c. That the route of said ditch is
practicable, and said ditch will draw
OH the water in wet seasons from a
large territory tributary thereto, con-
ducing to the public convenience,
health and welfare.
| D-That the benefits to be derived
from the construction of such ditch
will be vastly greater than the total
cost thereof, including any damages
that it will be necessary to award
by reason thereof.

ing point, route and terminus of the
proposed ditch is as follows:
