The stockade was visited, and

about this place was especially in
teresting to the visitors. Col Cos
grove, secretary of the commission,
explained the whole project of the
drainage, showing how long strech-
es of wild swamp land, into which
the piow had never been put, had
been drained scientifically and with
the substantial terra cotta pipes and
brick work. the drainage would al
ways be maintained. insuring the
iealth:ulness OF the locality. Col.
Coserove told Of the work vh:ct
is vet to be done, and That with the
con- pletion of comparatively small
area, the entire country from the
city limits to the boundary Of the
county would be reclaimed.
