TO REcLAIM BIG IOWA MARssi.
Engineers Propose Drainage of 10000
Acres Of Choice Land.

Forest City, Ia.-One Of the greatest
drainage projects yet proposed for this
section of the state win be brought be-
Tore the next meeting Of the Hancock
board of supervisors by Drainage En-
gineer E. w. Burgitt of Britt.
The area which it is proposed to re-
claim is what is known as the Hayfield
marshes, comprising something like
10000 acres of lowIands, most of it
under water the year round, with
few sections here ard there that yield
small annual profit to the owners
from the hay cutting. This vast area,
extending from Lake Edward south
east to Hawley and southwest beyond
these two points to the vicinity of
Britt, viii be drained and made fit for
cultivation If the plans of the pro-
motors and land owners are accepted
by the board.
In company with an engineer from
the government reclamation bureau at
Washington, Mr. Burgitt has made
careful investigation of the engineer
ing difficulties which are likely to be
encountered and has also compiled An
estimate of the cost of the work,
which will be about $23O,OOO, includ-
ing the main ditch and laterals.
In order to give some idea Of the
magnitude of the work proposed, it is
stated by Mr. Burgitt that the main
ditch. as comprised within the survey,
will extend a distance of 80 miles, and
entering this main channel or drain
will be % miles of lateral trenches.
A large number Of tracts within the
proposed bitches are owned by local
capitalists, who are naturally interest.
ed in Mr.. Burgitt's report, inasmuch
as its adoption and the establishment
Of the ditch described would greatly
Increase the value of their holdings.
In his report Mr.. Burgitt will recon-
mend that the main ditch be started at
point adjacent to the old lake bed
just southwest of Lake Edward Com
plete plans are unobtainaETe at pres.
ent, but it is probable that the drain

from this point.
