Petition to Have it Re- Dredged The Enterprise Would Effect Geneva and the Southwest Corner of Wabash Township. Orval McLaughlin, of Portland, is occupying a reserved seat at the auditor's office where he is copy ing the description of the stands and lots that was benefitted and assessed for the dredging of the loblolly ditch. It is the intention and perhaps by this time a petition has been filed with the auditor of Jay county, asking for a re-dredg ing of this ditch. As originally constructed it was not adequate for the purposes designed, besides with the lapse of fifteen years it has filled up considerably, and the work of re-dredging is a necessity for the cultivation of the lands in the close proximity of the ditch. The im provement will affect all of Geneva, and the land in the southwest por tion of Wabash township, and it will be assessed for the re-dredging. The bulk of the property, however, les in Jay county, and they will have to come down with the hot end of the financial part of the proposition. The completion of this enterprise will be of incalculable value to the realty along the route of the ditch, and those push ing it will try to complete some during the coming year.
