In other incidents reported Tues- City officials want ditches kept cleaner By JOY McILWAIN Democrat staff writer City commissioners decided to make a last-ditch effort Tuesday night to solve the ditch problem. They decided to send commissioners Hurley Rudd and James Ford to next week's county commission meeting to inquire about the county's current ditch-maintenance policy. Under terms of the 1976 memorandum of agreement between the two local governments, the county assumed responsibility for the maintenance of drainage ditches throughout Leon County. Before that time, the city had been responsible for ditch maintenance within the city limits.

"It's time to address them (county commissioners) politically," she said.
