dent Of the general board Of Leyee Commits
sioners, is without the means required for the
construction and repair of the Levees of Tuni-
ca, Coahoma, Bolivar, Washington, and Issa-
quena, that without prompt action on the part

of another overflow.
Therefore be 1t
Resolved That as citizens, and Taxpayers
of the Mississippi Levee District, we are IN
favor OF an EXTENSION OF the present general
Leyee Laws to fifteen OF twenty years and
longer if necessary, that we are willing to be
taxed to an amour mt sufficient to raise any
