Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 30, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 December 1908 — Page 7 Advertisements Column 3 [ADVERTISEMENT]

The Brook Reporter last week contained an article discussing the proposed drainage of the lower Iroquois, which is in the main correct It states that the banks of thd river in that part of the country are so high that there is never any possibility of an ■overflow, and that the drainage would not be justified for the few acres that would be benefited. And this is probably correct as regards Newton county, except that land not benefited could not be assessed under the law. The Reporter says that If the people at the upper end of the river Want the drainage continued they should pay for it. But it Is not the people at the upper end who want the drainage, in fact they are the ones who are largely fighting the movement The petition for the drainage comes from Caiey L. Carr and others who are situated below Rensselaer and who figure that the drainage so far completed will be a detriment to them, as it will dump the water down on them so fast that an ordinary freshet will Inundate their land, whereas it formerly done land owners no harm. There is a general impression here that the. river drainage will have to he continued at some future time, and many, who are in some ways opposed to it, see the hand writing on the wall and believe that this is the best time to carry It on, thus avoiding later court costs and taking advantage of the fact that the big dredge is still in the river. This dredge cost about $23,000 and once removed a great cost would be entailed in placing another dredge in the river. While it Is by no means certain that the Sterclbergs would get the contract for the lower river dredging they would have a great advantage over other bidders. The law contemplates that these drainage schemes shall be paid according to the benefits received and while the assessments are not always equitable it is reasonably certain that the land that is 1 not at all in need of the drainage will not be assessed to pay for the ditch. | It is said that several who signed the remonstrance against the ditch | are now wishing that they had not done it, but they can not get off the remonstrance. As it is only a question of time until another petition 1 for the ditch will be filed if this one is defeated, it will probably be just as good a time as any to have the petition' held valid. If this is done there Is still another feature of the matter ■ that will confront Newtcn county, and that will be the necessity of carrying the drainage on toward the mouth of the Iroquois.
