One project on Western from 4th to 7th involves 165 acres draining into 5 project acres, with drainage costs at $62,112 and total cost over $45 per foot. only resident Mrs. L. W. McCalley urged proceeding, while Ash from Lafayette to Washington drew opposition from Floyd Smith amid changing cost splits and petition needs.
