Mr. Haekel has obtained these mill rights for the control of water, subject, of course, to the New York State laws governing such nratters. The Peconic rises from springs about 15 miles above the bog, and the bog itself is flowed from two reservoirs water being caught when the river is damned up. About five miles below the bog the river becomes brackish as it flows into tide water nearing the bay. Original acreage of the Brown bog was about 35, with the entire property consisting now and for- merly of 154. About 50 acres of the property are in Riverhead and the remainder in the township of Brookhaven. Riverhead is so named because it is at the head of the Peconic. It is a bustling, in- corporated borough of 7,000, 75 miles from New York, and is the shiretown of Suffolk county. Riverhead, as do many of the more sizeable communities on Long Island, seems much nearer to being a small city than the towns of cor- responding population in Massa- chusetts or New Jersey cranberry aieas. They are more like the lar- ger cranberry towns of Wisconsin, such as Wisconsin Rapids, busy, drawing in trade from wide sur- rounding rural areas.
