Drainage Projects
Growing in State

Madison, Wis.--Drainage projects
carried on in Wisconsin during 1923
cost a total of $685. 900 and covered
319, 800 acres, according to the annual
summary of draining work announc-
ed today by f. r. Jones, state drain
age engineer.
The state drainage division received
applications on 109 projects during
the year, of which forty-fve have
been completed.
"The past year has been a reduc-
ton in the cost of open ditch work, y
Engineer Jones declared. "The cost
of thing has not been reduced SO much
and there is little prospect of much
reduction this year. The tendency is
toward smaller projects on marshes
that enroach upon farms now being
cultivated"
A total of nine drainage districts
have applied for service since 1909,
the drainage engineers report shows.
Application for service during the
same period have come from III
drainage farms.
The 126 projects that have applied
to the state department for organi-
cation since 1919 are distributed as
follows: Adams, 8; Barron, 2; Brown,
