Objects to Ivy Way Culverts.

There seems to be considerable dis
satisfaction with the mode OF con
struction of the Ivy Way by the farm
ers residing on the road between here
and Ottawa. On the Walbridge farm,
about Il mile and half west of the
city, they are putting in -four CulveTts
to take the water from the blum and
divert it from its natural course. Mr.,
Wlibridge, claims that these culverts,
t"'o Of which are placed almost oppo,
site his farm buildings, will create d
situation that will almost ruin his
property, as the water will run di-
rectly into his house and barn gard,
which heretofore had followed a ditCn
down to the creek west Of his prop
erty He has had several interview
with the contractors ana engineers,
but up to date nothing has been done
to relieve the situation,
