Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 203, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 August 1915 — RYAN DITCH. [ARTICLE]

RYAN DITCH.

There was a meeting of a number of the petitioners for the Ryan Ditch at the law office of George A. Williams in Rensselaer, last Saturday. It was the opinion of those present to fight for the RYAN DITCH to a finish. THE RYAN DITCH is not dead, as has been circulated, but will come up for hearing at the coming September term of court. All those who were or are in flavor of this proceeding should stand by the same and not sign any petition which would tend to defeat or delay the same. THE RYAN DITCH can be established this fall and construction work begun by next spring if there be no serious litigation. WILLIAMS and FOLTZ, Attorneys for Petitioners.
