had received but five bids for the con
struction tf the Harrison-Pottawattamie

ditches will run would offer to build at
least portions of the ditches.

pointed by the two counties, is about 1125,
000. The bids will be opened Saturday in
the presence of the auditors of the two
counties at the county court house In this
