Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 111, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 October 1909 — Powers’ Diteh Petition Dismissed By Petitioners. [ARTICLE]

Powers’ Diteh Petition Dismissed By Petitioners.

Tire objection to the Powers ditch petition, which proposed to dredge the Kankakee river from the Starke county line to the upper end of the proposed Marble ditch, was so strong that the petitioners, F. W. Powers, of the Northern Indiana Land Co., has decided to abandon the effort and the costs thus far incurred are being paid and the case will be dismissed.
