PROCEEDINGS OE THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

269

The expense a foot or rod is high, because much of this tiling was done at a depth of six and seven feet, in order to make the lines as short as possible and also to keep the lines on our own property rather than use the old and longer lines that ran through other property. All old lines that were disturbed were reconnected. They were generally found in fair working order, but the tile were too small to carry the water off soon enough to save the crops. Enclosed with this report are dupliacate bills for all money expended. Also blue-prints of both preliminary and final lines showing location, depth, etc. Your Committee asks that these prints be put on file and kept by the Secretary. Respectfully submitted,

FRED L. HATCH.
