Judge Paddock Writes: Ihave been asked several ques- tions lately regarding our controversy with the Drainage Ditch problem and for the benefit of the tax payers of Bates county I will endeavor to an- swer a few of them. The construc- tion of the entire main ditch was let to Timothy Foohey & Sons. They sublet the east division from Papins- ville to the Osage river to A. V. Wills &Sons. The balance of the ditch was thé-part thatis in controversy was let at twenty cents per cubic yard, it being at a higher price on account of the coal, stone and shale in part of this district. When Wills encountered the coal, stone and shale he raised above the stone and took the dirt off of the rock, which is about 1-2 mile in len and from two ft. to nine ft. high. Wills said as soon as he pass- ed over the rock he would turn and take them out the other way as he could do it better, but instead he dropped down to grade line and went on to the Osage river. Now you can readily see Mr. Wills done consider- able work after leaving the rock that we did not pay him for, the contract reading we were to pay on estimates furnished by the engineer on com- pleted work. So when Wills default- ed the engineer did not put in any | estimates so of course we did not pay, | hence he brought suit—then we ad- vertised and received bids for taking out the rock that Wills left and let it to a Joplin firm at ninety cents per cubic yard, there being about 43,000 eae Mr. Wills seeing the dilema e was getting into undertook to re- strain us from using the money we had on hand for the construction of and the entertainment throughout the Kitchen For years you ra A $31.00 Hoosier Hoosier Kitchen Cabinet.
