New State Ditch Law

The last general assembly of Ohio
passed new ditch law entitled,
AN Act to Codify, Consolidate and
Clarity the Ditch Laws of the
State" according to report of a
commission previously appointed
by the governor. This law amends
some sections of the general code
and repeals others. 1t was passed
June 19, 1919, and took effect the
Sth day of October, 1919.
The petitioning of a ditch was
left as heretofore, except that the
county commissioners do not hold
what is called a field hearing. AS
soon as ditch petition is filed with
the county auditor, the auditor no
titles the commissioners and they
notify the county surveyor to re-
port on the petion within 30 days
This report includes plans, pro6les,
estimates, cost and apportionment
to property owners and reports on
damages.
A date is fixed for hearing at
which time the commissioners eth
er grant or reject the ditch. This
feature is important to petitioners
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1919-10-23

as they must furnish bond for all
costs which accrue for the entire
time. Under the new law the coun-
ty commissioners will receive $500
per day instead of So 90 as hereto
fore. Another important feature
is that q ditch may be cleaned or
repaired without a petition. This
work is done under the supervision
of the county surveyor and costs
are assessed to the property bene-
fitted in the same proportion as
when the ditch was originally con-
structed or last improved The
new law does away with township
bitches. All ditch improvements
must now be petitioned to the coun-
ty commissioners. The boards of
public institutions, villages or cities
including county commissioners
themselves may petition for a ditch.

FOUR WET PROPOSALS
Why Drys Vote mo" on Two Of Them
and ayes" on Other Two.

"Why do drys vote YES on two
Of the wet proposals and NO on the
other two? II all four proposals were
petitioned for for by the vets. why
not vote NO on all of them?"
Because two were proposed by the
vets through referendum petitions
and two by initiative petitions. Initia-
tive and referendum do not mean the
same thing. If the Legislature enacts
a law, voters who object to the law
can, unless there is an emergency
clause attached, file a petition within
certain number Of days, containing
the names of 6 per cent of the num-
ber of voters voting at the last gen.
eral election, asking that the voters
pass on the action of the legislature.
This vote must be taken at the next
general election The question at
such an election is whether the legis-
lature shall be sustained Those who
vote YES" vote to sustain the legis.
lature, and those who vote NO" vote
against sustaining the legislature,
The two wet referendum proposals
is on sustaining the legislature in
ratifying the national prohibition
amendment. and in passing the Crabbe
law enforcement bill. Those who be-
lieve the legislature did right in rati-
flying the dry amendment, and also in
enacting a law for the enforcement of
statewide prohibition. will vote YES"
on these two proposals, which will be
on a ballot by themselves.
A proposal by initiative petition is
one in which certain voters desire to
initiate a new proposition, such as an
amendment to the state constitution.
Last year, for instance, the drys in
itiated a proposed amendment for
statewide prohibition, which the
voters adopted at the November elec.
tion. This year the vets initiated
two proposed amendments, one for
the repeal Of statewide prohibition
and the other for defining Intoxicating
liquors. The side which initiates a
proposed amendment is like the af

"THE UNKNOWN PURPLE"

Wilmington theatregoers are due for
a thrilling time in the engagement Of
the famous Roland West thriller Of
hrillers." "The Unknown Purple"
which is scheduled for appearance at
the Playhouse the three days COM
mencing Thursday evening.
The fame Of THE Unknown Purple"
has long proceeded 10. We know that
for one entire year the capacity audi
ences OF the Lyric Theatre. New York,
were forced 20 hold their breaths, 20
grip the arms OF their chairs at the
amazing and unaccounted-for things
that happen in this play. New York
and New Workers are the most blase
city and the people in the world, and if
The Unknown Purple" can thrill them
10 this extent, then most assuredly 70
will thrill the other people OF the cOun-
try, including Wilmington in this state
meni
The cast that appears in Wilmington
is the original one that presented the
play in New York and Philadelphia and
the engagement here should be all the
more interesting because u this fact.
The Playhouse management urges its
patrons TO make their inquiries for
seats now on the second day Of the ad-
vance sale, because the crowds are in
creasing and the choice OF seats decreas-
