The hearing of the petition for the
north side drainage district will be held
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock before
the county commissioners in their office
in the court house. The citizens of
northern Shawnee county interested in
the control Of Soldier creek would do
well to attend this hearing. The move
ment for a drainage district, it is IN
derstood. is not for any particular
method of control. In order to secure
any legal action, however, some kind Of
organization is necessary, and when this
is done such action can be taken as
shall be deemed most desirable and
practicable by scientific engineers. One
thing at least seems to be the impress
sion, and it is that the creek should be
cleared of the distractions that now
| prevail.
