Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 138, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 27 June 1917 — Barnard Ditch Hearing. [ARTICLE]

Barnard Ditch Hearing.

There does not seem to be any considerable fight against the Barnard ditch petition which is now being heard by Judge J. P. Wason, of Delphi. A number have objected to their assessments but there seems to be a pretty gneral sentimnt favoring the establishment of the improvement. If the weather is favorable the judge will go over the land to be assessed Thursday. Attorney Philip R. Blue represents the remonstrators and Attorney Halleck the petitioners.
