BROOK PEOPLE THINKING BETTER OF IT.

Brook Reporter: The warring factions of the proposed Iroquois river dredging, met in Brook, Monday, to discuss the various phases of the alleged improvement. A difference of opinion on the subject of the benefits of the drainage was of course uppermost, but the utmost good feeling prevailed, and in the end it may lead to something or other, that only the dim and misty future will unravel. The promotors of the proposed dfedging of the Iroquois river are now talking of carrying the work down the river as far as the bridge two miles Bouthwest of town. If the dredging is ever done it will be a vast better Improvement than stopping at the railroad bridge south of town.
