Geo. w. Somerville appears spec
tally for Chas. O. Gilfillan and asks
that the proceedings herein be dis
missed and quashed as to him for
the reasons that this board has no
jurisdiction and for the reason that
the description in the petition is null
and void and for the reason that the
various notices have not been served
or published nor has proof of service
or publication thereof been made
nor has due notice of the meeting
been given the said Gilfillan nor has
the meeting been properly called and
the board has lost jurisdiction by
lapse of time and for the reason
that extensions and branches have
been made without the consent of
the bondsmen and contrary to law.
6 A. R. A. Laudon. appearing spec
tally for j. Zamzow, objects to the
proceedings herein and asks that the
same be dismissed on the ground
and for the reason that he has no
proper notice of the proceedings
herein. That no proper petition
therefor has been filed, that there
are material var;ances between the
petition and the engineers report,
and that material changes have been
made by the engineer herein from
the ditch petitioned for, without the
written consent of the bondsmen

ular and void.
By proper motion of the board
the above objections were overruled
and so declared by the chairman.
