The Western Dredging company Of Omaha
forestalled any action on the part of the
supervisors of Pottawattamie and Harrison
counties, in session yesterday as a joint
drainage board, looking towards the annul-
ment or assignment Of its contract for the
construction Of the Boyer cutoff bitches
Nos l and q The company made a propo-
sition to furnish an additional bond In the
sum OF $4,000. provided the time for COM
plotting the work on these two bitches was
extended. This compromise was finally ac-
cepted by the drainage board.
At the joint session of the supervisors
of the two counties In Logan last Wednes-
day 1t looked very much as If the contract
of the Western Dredging company would
be cancelled unless the company was will
ing to assign 1t to Pollard, Con & Co.,
who have the contract for the Allen creek
ditch. which also forms part Of the joint
drainage district.
Alfred e. Croft, general manager of the
Featherstone Foundry and Iron company
Of Chicago, which furnished the big dredge,
which is said to have delayed the work
on the Boyer bitches, appeared before the
board and acknowledged that the work OF
the machine had been unsatisfactory.
The board after discussing the matter
practically the entire day decided TO ex-
tend the time for the Boyer bitches to De-
cember 81 of this year, and in the event
that they are not completed by that time
The bond of $4,000 Is to be forfeited to the
drainage district as liquidated damages,
