Given by Judge Woodruff Affecting
harrison County Drainage Projects.
Special To Tires Republican
Logan, Feb. 6.-Two very important
decisions have just been received from
Judge Woodruff, by the clerk of the
district court of Harrison county. One
turns down and then remands the Sol
der river drainage project to the
board of supervisors of Harrison coun-
ty According to the decision, the
project was not in conformity with
the drainage law. The plan contem-
plated the drainage Of 10000 acres Of
lands now unfit for cultivation, at a
cost Of 100000.
The second decision permits the
payment in full for Boyer river cutoff
No. and No. 2, the former to cost
$4,000 and the latter $4,000, but the
20 per cent payment on the Willow
creek ditch is enjoined, for the reason
that the ditch has not been completed
as contemplated by the contract. This
is due to the filling of the ditch by de-
posts, short time before the con-
tractors had completed the excavation.

it large enough for six to eight fam
