Lilly Outlines Drainage Benefits for Union Slough
Prof Lilly argues draining Union slough would improve Ledyard ditch outlet and aid land near Germania and Portland township. He estimates a ten foot by six foot bottom ditch could work, with bond funding over ten to fifteen years and annual assessments near six cents per acre, offset by expected land rent. He notes the process requires interested local petitioners and cites potential but uncertain costs and measurements.
