Contemplated Ditch Improvements.
Receiver J. C. Wilson, of tho North
Platte Ditch Co., has returned from
Scottts Bluffs whore ho investigated the
cement dams, hoadgntes and drops
used by tho ditches in that section. Mr.
Wilson was so well pleased with this
class of work there that he has decided
to reconstruct the headgate, spillway
and drop of tho North Platto ditch and
will uso cement ns the material. In
addition to tho toow headgate, it is
thought best to construct a cement dam
extending about one-half way ucross
the river. This would prove u per
manent dam and do away with .hay
dams which have been built each sen
son for twenty years.
Engineer Willis, of Bridcenort. who
fa experienced in this class ' of engi
neering work, will bo here in a few
days to make the necessary surveys
and estimates and the actual work will
begin in August.
The headsates of tho North Platte
and Paxton & Herohey ditches are
only about eight rods distant, and as
the dam would be Df erreat benefit to
tho, latter ditch, it is hoped to get the
P. & H. users interested in tho con
struction of the dam.
