effects of the great storm, with which we have
been just visited, are consequent upon the inunda-
ton of the suburban gardens. 1t would be very
difficult to calculate the loss of the people raising
vegetables and flowers in the vicinity of the city,
from the flood, but from those best qualified to
give an opinion, the lowest estimate we have is
from one hundred and fifty to two hundred thou
sand dollars. The serious consequences of this inun
daton admonishes the people how necessary it's
that we should have perfect drainage system. AS
the drainage is now, there is no security for the
suburban population, because it is impossible for
the machines to work against nature The corpo-
rate limits should be leyeed at the lake, and there
the ma chinery should be placed to drain the city.
Every engineer understands that with the present
system of drainage, the lake is law, and the lake
must be damned before New Orleans can give law
against foods. r
