Joint Board in Session

Nonpareil June 2: The
board of supervisors of Harri-
son and Pottawattamie county
held a joint session in Council
Bluffs. Thursday, to consider a
ditch question. The Missouri
Valley board includes Jonathan
Holeton, Thomas Chalburn and
Frank -Zahner, Auditor Fred
Gaines accompanied the Harri-
son county board and A. B. Hos
brook, of Missouri Valley was
present to testify in the matter.
The question is of minor inn
portance and relates to the
Seatsn lateral which has al
ready been established, the con-
tract let and work commenced.
Rhe boayd has the right Of way
on one side of q highway and It
has been thought that it would
be better to run the ditch on the
other side of the road But the
land owner on that side of the
road objects and It would be
necessary to condemn the right
of way In order to secure it.
It is q question whether this
could be done in view Of the
fact that the county already
has q right Of way.
