Rush River Judicial Ditch to Drain 10000 Acres in Nicollet
The Rush River project will reclaim 60 thousand dollars of farm land by constructing a judicial ditch in Nicollet and Sibley counties. The Hamlin Construction company dredges twelve miles with a powerful dredge and electric plant, aiming to finish in sixty days. The state and county fund most of the cost, with $10,000 from the state drainage commission and $2,500 from Nicollet County, while the rest is assessed locally. This will reclaim 1200 acres idle since 1901 and drain 40000 acres in nearby tracts.
