MOSIER DITCH CONTRACT LET.

The contract for the construction of the Mosier ditch was let last Saturday by Construction Commissioner John L. Burton to A. N. Wills & Sons of Winamac and B. J. Moore of Monon. The Wills people will excavate the dirt portion at 6 3 cents per yard, while Mr. Moore gets a dollar per yard for taking out the rock. The contractors expect to commence work at once. A. V. Wills & Sons are a well known firm of dredge ditch contractors and have the reputation of being hustlers Mr. Moore has had charge of the work of removing the stone in the Monon ditch, and has gained an experience that will be useful to him in this contract. The Mosier ditch drains lands in Jasper, Pulaski and White counties and which will be greatly increased in value by its construction. Mr. Burton will see that there is no unnecessary expense incurred in doing it.—Monticello Herald.
