DITCH CONTRACT TROUBLES
Work on Willow Greek and Boyer Cutoff
is Not Satisfactory.
CONTRACTORS LAY TROUBLE TO DREDeE
Possibility Matter May he Settled by
Present Contractors Turning work
over TO Another Firm to
he Completed.

The supervisors Of Pottauattamie and
Harrison counties will meet in adjourned
joint session as a drainage board in this
city Saturday for the purpose of taking
some action in regard to the contract of
the Western Dredging company of Omaha
for the construction Of the Willow creek
and Boyer CUTOFF bitches. At the Joint
session yesterday in Logan there was con-
siderable talk among the supervisors Of
the two counties Of cancelling the contract.
but It was finally decided to postpone ac-
tion until Saturday.
The Western Dredging company has met
with all kinds of difficulties since it com
menced work on the bitches forming part
Of the Pottawattamie-H Harrison county
drainage district. The principal difficulty
1t is claimed by the company, lies with the
big dredge which has not done the work
expected of 1t. Yesterday at the close Of
the session Of the drainage board at Logan,
notice Of suit by the Western Dredging
company was served upon a representative
OF the Featherstone Foundry company OF
Chicago the manufacturers of the dredKe.
Messrs. Callahan and KATE Of the Wes-
tern Dredging company stated to the su-
pervisOrs that they would be willing to do
anything to meet the wishes of the joint
board, and requested that the contract be
not cancelled, as such action would do
the company almost iTreparable injury.
The board is anxious, IL possible, to avoid
such action, as it would result in a long
delay in the construction of these bitches
which form part Of the drainage system
now being carried out In the event of the
cancellation of the Western Dredging com
panys contract, the board would be COM
PEELED under the law to readvertise for
bids, and this procedure would mean a de-
lay OF several months before the contract
could be awarded and work be recon-
menced.
The board signified at the meeting yester-
/ day that an assignment of its contract by
| the Western Dredging company to Pollard,
! Goff & Co. Of Champaign, Ill, who have
| the contract for the Allen creek ditch,
| would be entirely satisfactory to 1t. As
| Messrs Callahan and Katz stated they
would be willing to do anything the board
| desired. rather than have the contract
annulled this, it is said, may possibly set
| tie the matter at the meeting Saturday.
The work under the contract of the
Western Dredging company has proceeded
not only not satisfactory, but not sufh-
ciently far The work, the supervisors and
the engineers in charge of construction
say, is not according to specifications, and
this is admitted by all concerned to be the
fault of the big dredge. The work on the
Allen creek ditch, for which Pollard, GofI
g. Co have the contract, is most satisfac-
tory.
The amount involved in the contract Of
the Western Dredging company, 1t is said
exceeds $4,000
