WRIGHT DITCH IS
hjn,,a UnDIi WAI
Commissioners Reject All Damage
Claims and Order Condem-
nat1Cn Begun.

After a lengthy session during which
several heated arguments were made
by interested property owners, the
county commissioners last Monday re-
jected all protests and claims for dam
ages and directed County Attorney
Thomas L. O'Leary to proceed with the
condemnation of right of way for the
Wright ditch TO drain large tract OF
swamp land near Independence, about
two miles east of Little Rock.
County Engineer w. H. Yeager, Jr.,
estimates that the ditch will cost 49,
200, plus the cost of securing the right
of way and whatever damages are al
lowed, and will be about three and a
half miles long. The proposal to con-
struct such ditch was first presented
some months ago and the county at
torney then instructed to proceed with
condemnation suits, but protesting
property holders enjoined action by
the county before the suits were
brought.
Some 532 acres of land are included
in the assessment district the commits
sioners say will be benefited by the i'm
provement, but several property own
ers at the lower end of this district
have already constructed bitches to
drain their property, claim that the
prOnncp6 ditch RI drain tho I1nnor NOR
ton will not benefit them any and OBJ
ject to paying any portion of the ex-
pense of constructing it. Among these
are j. E. Walker, who presented
claim for 100000 damages; Henry
Kearney, who asked for 500 year
damages, saying the land that would
be taken by such ditch would pro-
duce that much, and Eber N. Clark,
whose farm is at the extreme lower
end of the district and who asked for
$1,000 DAMAGES. Other farmers who
objected were William Nelson and
Willis Farrows, who, while the pro
posed ditch does not cross their prop
erty, are included in the assessment
district and must pay part of the cost.
Otto Ferguson, Andrew Cedarholm.
John Ismay, Robert Wright and Fred
w. Stocking were among the property
owners in the district who appeared In
favor of the project, representing quite
number of others, all of whom are
anxious to have the ditch constructed
so that they can get fuller use of their
farms.
The action of the commissioners In
rejecting all claims for damages means
that the protesting property owners
will receive only such sums as are al
lowed in the condemnation proceed
ings and must bear part Of the cost Of
constructing the ditch, unless they
| take further action AGAINST the county
