Iroquois Engineers Working Toward Brook.

Brook Reporter. We understand that the surveyors are busy at work this week surveying the river bed for the proposed new drainage, and as quick as the engineers file their report, and the next step will probably be a more active one in calling for bids for the construction of the ditch, or rather deepening of the river. The estimate cost of the construction of the ditch has not been made public, but it will run into the hundreds of thousands and the benefits derived remains to be but there seems little question but that the work will be done. It will take from one to two years to' complete the work and the real dredging will not commence until next year.
