STATEMENT OF T. H. FENN. 



In the fall of '65, immediately after the examination of your committee, I 

 commenced taking out the bushes, alders,willows, hard hack, stumps and bogs, 

 most of which were removed by hand labor, as it was impossible to use a team 

 on parts of it. A large quantity of wood, the roots of stumps and bogs, 

 buried in muck, were discovered on removing brushes and bogs, which had 

 not been seen by me before. Ditches were made to nearly surround the 

 piece, and which by taking off the water greatly aided me in drying and 

 reducing to ashes the debris on the same. The account will stand nearly 

 as follows : — 



Dr. 



To one-half expense of ditches, $7 50 



Bogging and removing brush, stumps and logs on the acre, 



twenty days, at $1.50 per day, 30 00 



Burning debris, six days, i> 00 



Drawing off stumps with team, 5 00 



Grass Seed, 4 00 



Eight loads manure on part of it, 8 00— $63 50
