Iroquois Improvement Again.

To all whom it may concern; We the undersigned residents of Jasper County, Ind., and land owners interested in the work herein proposed after having investigated the matter to some extent do think that the time has come for a general improvement of the Iroquois river above Rensselaer. In support of whioh we make the following suggestions: Ist The channel should be widened and deepened by means of a dredge working from the sonroe to the outlet. 2nd The line of improvement should be oon fined chiefly to the existing channel. 3rd There should be no laterals ordered in connection with the main. 4th The channel cut through the limestone ledge at Rensselaer should be less than one fourth the number of cnbio yards ordered removed in the original survey. sth The improvement should begin at the Thompson ranoh which would be nearly 6$ miles shorter than the original. 6th The improvement should he made under the five mile or Timmons law to insure an early compfetion, John E.
