CONDITION OF THE LEvEEs
BONNET cARRE NOT CLOSED
NO DANGER elsewhere

We present to our readers this morning
the following reports from General M. JEFF
Thompson, Chief Engineer:
OFFICE BOARD OF STATE ENGlNnsRs I
New Orleans, April a. 1911
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
have learned this day by telegram from
vicksburg: ."River' eight feet eight inches
below high water mark of 1867; heavy rain
all yesterday" From Baton Rouge hear:
"Heavy storm last night; river rose six
inches since yesterday"
The Poverty Point crevasse is closed, and
the tugboat Vulcan has returned and been
dispatched to Bonnet Carre.
The Marero crevasse is closed, and the
stern-wheeler ]. F. Frazier has returned
and also been dispatched to Bonnet Care
crevasse.
No ''futile attempts" as the Times says
this afternoon. have been made to close any
crevasse, but each attempt to close one has
been successful, and those evidently beyond
our power to close have been restricted to
prescribed limits, except the Bonnet Carre
crevasse, ON which we will now concentrate
all our powers to check its increase.
The Board of State Engineers do not
claim any credit for this success, for il
surely belongs to the energetic gentlemen
and willing laborers near each scene oi
danger; but unfortunately there was NO con
centration of purpose among the immediate
neighbors at Bonnet Carre, and their desola
ton has been the result.
Except to the jackson railroad, tho in
jury has been truly local; for the river is 81
near the lake at that point that the watel
soon finds tho level of tho ocean; and ON thu
plantations that have back levees anG
draining machines within but few miles O
tho crevasse, there was no overflow, and tn
field hands were at work yesterday.
Yours Iuost respectfully,
N. JEFF THOMPSON,
Chief State Engineer.
