ally empties through said creek into
the Minnesota river, about four

DITCH NO. 5.
This ditch is short one located in
the town of North Hero. The length
| is about three miles of main ditch,
with about the same amount of
branches and spurs. M. B. Haynes,
the engineer, estimates the total
cost at $8798.85. Auditor Larson
has been unable to let the contract
for this ditch on account of it being
too small a job for the large dredg-
es. This will probably be changed
to pillow ditch.

made.
