Secretary OF the National Drainage
Association Writes County Judge
Gould and Compliments Delegates
From This State.

County Judge James Gould yester-
day received letter from Major ]. A.
Dapray of Washington. D. c., secre-
tary of the National Drainage Asso-
citation, in which he pays the Arkan-
sas delegation to the recent drainage
meeting at the nations capital a high
compliment Among other things he
says:
The Arkansas Delegation showed
splendid interest in the drainage prob
lem, and ] was much impressed by
the manner in which it stood together
and acted. If all the other interested
States would follow the example Of
Arkansas we might hope for quicker
results.
"Of course you must realize that it
is uphill work for one man to carry
|along this drainage business, the eX-
pense of which must be met as it
goes. One of the last acts Of the
executive committee. however, was to
appoint special agent who will en-
deavor to popularize the association.
+, and we are hoping that ere long the
results will be more satisfactory.

MAY BE WITHDRAWN
General misunderstanding Among At
tOrneys Marks Recent Develop

The matter of anneXing the outly-
ing territory to this city known as

up again for hearing before County
Judge James Gould yesterday, when
City Attorney w. B. Sorrells asked
that his amended petition, in which he

Clesville and the East End. be taken
up BY the court. To this Attorney T.
Havis Nixon, counsel for the anti-an-

as The original petition had been
Withdrawn the court did not have the
legal authority to recall it. Judge
Gould asked Prosecuting Attorney
Jones to advise him on the legal
points involved and the matter will be
taken up again next Saturday.
At the hearing yesterday morning
in Judge Gould's court were all of the
city councilmen and other city Off
Gals, who are much interested in the
annexation proposition. The matter
was referred to at the council meet
ing Monday night when Attorney SOr-
rells explained that the reason he had
withdrawn the original petition was
vecause he had been misinformed by
Attorney Nixon, who had stated that
the county Judge would grant his Pc
tition as far as the East End was con-
cerned, but would not annex Battles
vile. Attorney Nixon also explained
