Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 April 1894 — Wakarusa Ditch Dismissed. [ARTICLE]

Wakarusa Ditch Dismissed.

The final step in the Wakarusa Ditch matter, so far as the County Commissioners are concerned, was taken last Friday. An order finally dismissing the whole proceedings was entered, and the costs ordered collected from the petitioners. The amount of these costs is $3,053.17. The petitioners are about 30 in number. An appeal of the whole matter to the circuit court has been taken by the petitioners.* The Wakrusa ditch up to the time it was first instituted, was the largest single ditching enterprise ever under taken in the state.
