DRA1NAGE.-In an article in yesterdays
paper, under the above heading, we omitted
to mention that all the interior drainage
canals are to be made forty-fve feet wide
and twelve feet deep. The upper line drain
age canal, leading from the Metairie ridge
to the lake, which is fifty feet wide, is to be
widened to sixty-ive feet, and its depth in
creased to fifteen feet.
The protection levee on the lake shore, as
laid out by City Surveyor Bell, is to have
front of about four miles. By actual sur
veys and soundings, the Surveyor has as
certained that a short distance from the
shore there is hard shellbank, on which
the levee will be built, from which all the
shells can be dug to make an embankment
sufficiently wide to accommodate double
ltrack horse-ear railway and shell road.
