Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 49, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 March 1903 — BROOK EXPANDS. [ARTICLE]

BROOK EXPANDS.

Brook is now nearly a mile square. The final touches to the extension *of the incorporation was put on by the county commissioners, Monday. A slight modification to the original plans was asked for by some few of the land owners and was agreed toby the town board, which will make the town slightly less than one mile square. Every one seems to be pleased with the enlargement of the incorporated limits, and the increased taxable property will also give the school board a chance to erect that new school building. —Brook Reporter.
