FIXED BY COUNTY BOARD
Hearing Comes to a Sudden Close
Will Mean Delay of About
Two Months.

The hearing on proposed ditch No. IL
came to a sudden ending yesterday
survey made of route three-quarters
Of mile south of the present route.
This will mean a delay of about two
months as the survey must be made
and the reports of the engineers and
viewers acted upon the same as If it
were an entirely new project.
1t became apparent from the evil
dence at the hearing yesterday that
the route in the plan under considera-
ton was not altogether desirable,
hence the action by the board.
