The county court on Tuesday “stood pat’ on their contract with Foohey & Sons, in matter of the drainage ditch and insisted that the whole work must be completed ac- cording to contract before any more money is paid. A. V. Wills the sub- contractor was present and wanted to talk compromise, but the court very properly refused to receive any propositions from him, the contract for the work being with the Fooheys. The court has on hand available funds of the Drainage district to pay in full for the completed work, but they will not pay the original contractors any more on their completed work, until the rock under controvérsy is taken out and the ditch is in opera- tion according to specifications. On Wednesday the members of the court and the engineer went over the Miami lateral, to inspect it carefully, before receiving it. The court isde- termined to fully safeguard the inter- ests of the people of this drainage district, and the judges will not be , intimidated by lawsuits, or cajoled a promises. 1 * Fe
