Board of Public Works survey distant ditch dispute
The board of public works toured a northern subdivision with Roberts Martindale and Harry Adams, weighing two drainage schemes to relieve the state ditch. They discuss a 60 to 80 foot deep, wide drain along Howland to Belt Road, with opposition from Howland st. and a second option to route near Fall Creek. The decision, likely soon, may affect neighbors’ property and the belt road area. Nearby anecdotes recount Harry Adams and Phipps memories and a homestead cow tale tied to President Harrison’s era.
