mated Cost of Ditch Was Close to
100000 - News Of tho State.
Special to Times-Repuplican.

Mason City, Dec. 24.-The proposed
tween this city and Clear Lake, the es-
timated cost of which was between
Sl50,CGo and 100000, probably will not
be const. ucted.
Against the fifteen men who petit
toned for the big ditch in district No.
10, ninety-eight remonstrants APP
peared before the board of supervisors
asking that the project be dismissed
and abandoned. The ditch was to have
been one of the biggest in the west,
extending as was planned from the
west line of the county to i point
along Willow Creek east of Emery ana
costing between s150,000 and 100000
and the ditch, with all its laterals,
would drain $4,000 acres of land.
An agreement of dismissal was
drawn up in the court house and if it
is signed by the remonstrants and the
petitioners the ditch project will
doubtless be abandoned This agree
ment calls for an equable payment OF
costs in the preliminary work by all
the property owners in the drainage
district These preliminary costs are
to the amount of $4,000. nearly every
thing having been in readiness for the
actual work of construction to begin
The document asks the dismissal and
abandonment of the project as now
pending before the board of supervisor:
and includes the clause providing foi
the payment of the costs already in
Cured as we'll as another which stipu-
lates that this ditch will not be petit
toned for again within period of five
years after the project is dismissed by
the board of supervisors.
The remonstrants, nearly two hun
bred strong. occupied two coaches
on an early morning interurban train
from Clear Lake and they filled the
room of the board of supervisors, over
flowing into the corridors and general
ly permeating the building. They con-
slider that the new ditch would cos
too much and they do not feel able tc
pay the big amounts which Its con-
structon might require.
