That Rock Ledge.

Motnence Press. The reported letting of the contract for cutting through the Momence rock ledge for 850,000 is no indication that the work will be attempted soon. The object was to secure the passage of a new act by the Indiana legislature with an additional appropriation. When this is done then the riparian rights from Momence owners will have to be obtained again, as the old contracts expired in Novetnber., For this reason the Press does not Believe that any active work will be done for some years, but that it will be done some day, there is no doubt. At the same time there are more difficulties to be overcome now than ever before in the history of the attempted work. No further effort will be made under the present bill and present commission.
