From careful survey made it appears that
there will be required, on the Mississippi river in
order to reclaim all those lands affected by the
foods OF that river, 31l miles of levee every mile
of which is now under contract, Sc miles complet-
ed, and the residue confidently expected to be fin
ished during the present winter. The results
which have followed the construction OF the par
tial evees above referred to, of such acharac-
ter as to dispel all doubts as to the practcabilitv
OF and necessity for, the completion of the entire
system of contemplated levees. During the last
annual rise in the Mississippi, although within
few inches of high-water mark, in no instance, ex-
cept one land that but slight) did the levees,
built under these contracts, give way, although
pressed upon by the waves and tides OF the mighty
Mississippi, at most critical period-being Just
finished, and before the material of which they
were constructed could settle and assume degree
of conpactness and solidity calculated to answer
their legitimate purpose. So etectually did these
partial levees answer the purpose, for which they
were built that it is estimated that more than
four million acres of land remained entirely dry
and secure from overflow, which, formerly, at like
periods, were entirely submerged.
Upon the Arkansas river, it is estimated. there
will be required. from Little Rock to the mouth,
two hundred miles O: levee, of which there has
been completed twenty miles, with sixty more
under contract and in speedy progress of compile
ton. Other surveys upon other streams have
been, and remain to be made, concerning which
the Commissioners have made no report.
In payment for the levee work above alluded
70. and other contingent expenses there has been
nad out in evee scrip and certificates for services
