Consent DRAINAGE ldea Popular in

Special to Times-Republican.
Clear Lake, Aug. quite a howl
has gone np over the cost Of many Of
the larger bitches which have been
constructed in these parts, so that a
new idea has taken hold Of the people
and now they are after what is termed
the consent drainage ditch Where
one is needed the people who will be
benefited are seen and they agree un-
der written contract to pay their pro
rata for the same as Is assessed to
them by the engineer. This does away
with whole lot Of cost that accrued
under the old system. The ditch is
put in and legalized by act Of the
board Of supervisors. It is claimed
that in this way from 80 to 40 per
cent is saved. A big project Of this
kind is now under. way in the west
part of this county and r. N. Cliff Of
Gearing. Iowa, who owns farm in
the locality. is endeavoring to get thru
the consent ditch and 1t looks az II he
would succeed. all the farmers taking
kindly to the project.

10 cents a gallon, and the profit is such
that the sale of barrel or two will

Fortune laughed. Somehow the quail.
