DITCH CONTRACT TROUBLES
Work on Willow Creek and Boyer Cat-Off
ii Hot Satisfactory,
CONTRACTORS LAY TROUBLE TO DREDGE
Possibility Matter May Be Settled by
Present Contractors Turn In a- Work
Over to Another Firm to
Be Completed.
The supervisors of Pottawattamie and
Harrison countlr will meet in adjourned
Joint session as a drainage beard In this
city Suturclay for the purpose of taking
some action In regard to the contract of
the Western Dredging company of Omaha
for the construction of the Willow creek
and Boyer cut-off ditches. At the Joint
session yesterday In Logan there was con
siderable) talk among the supervisors of
the two counties of cancelling the contract,
but It waa finally decided to postpone ac
tion until Saturday.
The Western Dredging company has met
with all kinds of difficulties since it com
menced work on the ditches, forming port
of the Pottawattamie-Harrison county
drainage district. The principal difficulty.
It la claimed by the company, lies with the
big dredge which has not done the work
expected of it. Yesterday at tho close of
the session of the drainage board at Logan,
notice of suit by the Western Dredging
company was served upon a representative
of the Keatherstone Foundry company of
Chicago, the manufacturers of the dredge.
Messrs. Callahan and Kats of the Wes
tern Dredging company statPd to the su
pervisors that they would be willing to do
anything to meet tha wishes of the Joint
board, and requested that the contract be
not cancelled, as such action would do
the company almost Irreparable Injury.
The board 1s anxious. If possible, to avoid
such action, as It would result In a long
delay In the construction of those ditches
which form part of the drainage aystom
now being carried out. In the event of the
cancellation of the Western Dredging com
pany's contract, the board would be com
pelled under the law to readvertlse for
bids, and this procedure would mean a de
lay of several months before the contract
could be awarded and work be recom
menced. The board signified at the meeting yester
day that an assignment of its contract by
the Western Dredging company to Pollard,
Ooff & Co. of Champaign. 111., who have
the contract for the Allen creek ditch,
would be entirely satisfactory to It. As
Messrs, Callahan and Katx stated they
would be willing to do anything the board
desired, rather than have the contract
annulled, this. It Is said, may possibly set
tle the matter at the meeting Saturday.
The work under the contract of the
Western Dredging company has proceeded
not only not satisfactory, but not suffi
ciently far. The work, the supervisors and
the engineers In charge of construction
say. Is not according to specifications, and
this is admitted by all concerned to be the
fault of the big dredge. The work on the
Allen creek ditch, for which Pollard, Ooff
ft Co. have the contract. Is most satisfac
tory. The amount Involved in the contract of
the Western Dredging company, it Is said,
exceeds S160,0(X.

COCXCIt. DISCI'HSES WATER RATES
Conference Leads to No Action on the
Ordinance.
The city council In special session last
night discussed at length the ordinance
Incorporating the schedule of water rates
ns prepared by Expert Klersted. but failed
to take any action.
The ordinance provides for a minimum
rate of 17 and the discussion showed that
this was generally favored by the council.
Mayor Macrae stated he was and had
always been in favor of a minimum rate.
"Lots of men would like me to pay their
water rant, and. in fact, I and others do
pay the water rent for lota of other men.
Every one should pay his proportion for
the service."
Regarding the raise of hydrant rentals
from $54 to IfiO by Mr. Klersted, Chairman
Wallace of the special water works com
mittee explained that this was done by
Mr. Klersted to avoid raising the rates
to private consumers in order to obtain
the necessary Income which the water
works company was entitled to.
Some of the rates were questioned by
some 'of the councllmen, and Manager
Hart of the water works company said
they probably could be rearranged providing
others were raised so as to produce the
same aggregate Income.
The following are the rates where wate
is not furnished through a meter:

any number of beautiful women attend-
ing the sessions. Hundreds of them are

Ing looking women, perhaps, are Mrs. Don

and Mrs. Alexander Patten, chairman of
ths program committee. Mrs. Macrae was

Alexander E. Patten of Curwenvllle and
Mrs. Donald Macrae, Jrw of Council Uluffa,
la., dawned Imposingly on the world of
Washington this week as exponents of na
tional beauty. Both were delegates to the
continental congress of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, and both had
unlimited wardrobes with which to en
hance their loveliness. Mrs. Patten, who
has been state regent from Pennsylvania
Is of the regal type. Mrs. Macrae Is mora
