DREDGE NOW BEING SET UP

On Claude W. May Ditch In Carpenter and Jordan Townehlps. Kenneth Fisher, contractor on the Claude W. May ditch In Jordan and Carpenter townships, unloaded his big dredge here the last of the week and hauled It via auto truck to the Bullis bridge in Jordan, where he will set up same in Carpenter’s creek and dig the north end of the ditch with this floating dredge, which was shipped here from Posey county on two big flat cars, Mr. Fisher having recently completed a dredging contract in that county. The south end of the ditch he will dig with a dry land dredge, which is not yet got on the ground. The contract price for this work is 14.6 cents per yard, and with the tile lateral it totals about 331,000.
