TURKEY CREEK DITCH REPORT A 197-page report on the proposed $75,000 Turky Creek ditch cleanout has been completed and turned over to Ezra Graham, attorney for the petitioners, it was announced today by County Surveyor George Nye. The petition for the ditch, signed by Howard McDonald, Valentine Gerber, Jesse Dippon, Fred Schori, Menno Mast, Roy Treesh and several hundred other landowners, contains about 200 pages. The survey of the ditch was made in the late fall of 1948 by Surveyor Nye and Assistant Surveyor Walter Kline, who put in six weeks of field work during a period when Turkey Creek was well behaved and confined to its banks. Much of the land drained by the creek in Elkhart county has been under water for the past six months. Assessments for the cleanout, based on those found in the old report of the ditch, were worked out by W. J. Taylor, assistant surveyor, during the last few months. Covers Wide Territory. As required by state law, cards notifying landowners of their pro-* posed assessments and the date for hearing upon them in circuit court will be mailed out by the attorney for the petitioner, probably during the next month. The petition calls for a cleanout from the Main street bridge at Syracuse to a point about a mile north of where the ditch crosses the Wabash railroad in Elkhart county—a total distance of about 18 miles. Thousands of pieces of real estate will be affected. The report on the ditch was bound by the Free Methodist Publishing house at Winona Lake, Surveyor Nye said.

HOME REPAIR OUTLAYS IN COUNTY TO REACH HUGE TOTAIL IN 1350 Kosciusko County home owners will spend an estimated $1,115,000 on repair and modernization of non-farm dwellings, during 1950, according to estimates just released by the Tile Council of America. “Lower wholesale prices for building products and growing stress on the use of quality materials should greatly benefit Indiana home owners planning repairs this year,” declared a. T. Wintersgill, cha'irman of the Council’s residential construction committee. Approximately one out ot every three homes in this region will be redecorated, either inside or out, during the year, the report showed, Heating equipment will be overhauled or replaced in one of every four dwellings, and one of eight will have roofing work done. One out of 20 homes will have plumbing repaired, bathrooms tiled or showers installed, the report said. Seven of every 100 dwellings are due for carpentry work, and one of every 20 for interior repairs. Home repairs will be easier on the 1950 family budget because of a decline of more than five per cent in wholesale costs of building materials, in comparison with prices at the beginning of 1949, the report said. Home owners also will be able to insist on such quality materials as clay tile for repair work, as a result of the present buyers’ market, it pointed out. Expenditures throughout the United States for home repair and modernization this year will total $2,350,000,000 to $2,900,000,000, the report estimated. PYTHIAN SISTERS TO MEET The forty-third annual convention of district No. 1 of the Pyhtian Sisters of Indiana will be held Friday, May 12, 1950 in the high school gymnasiunl in North Webster.
