of land in the drainage district the
estimated cost of the work is $685.
600. The ditch will have an aver
age fall of three and one-half feet
per mile which is sufficient to insure
a rapid flow of water.
About 500 land owners will be in
terested in the proposition, nearly
all of them greatly in favor of the
ditch. This is the most fertile val
lw in Hancock county and when the
drainage is completed so that all of
the lowland can be cultivated the
agricultural output of the county
will be doubled.
