PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
GALVESTON, TEXAS, Sept. 80, 1875.
Eds Ne,os-On yesterday l made a careful
examinate Of the beach from Twentv-ffth
street to the City Hospital, and, as a matter
causes of the destruction consequent upon
the late storm.
First, prior to the storm not only the sand
hills, but sand, largely intermixed with clay,
which had been accommodating for ages, had
been removed near to the water line
Secondly, the turf had been removed from
the surface, and the waves had only to con-
tend with light drift sand, which yielded to
the water almost as rapidly as snow. Hence
there was no obstruction to the water.
We will make few remarks in reference
to providing against like calamity in the fu-
ture.
First, define where the city limits are on
the Gulf shore; then plant three or four
The twigs or cuttings in each range should
be placed not more than one foot apart The
refuse Of stables and garbage of the city gen.
orally should be deposited in deep burrows
about one foot from each range, and be COW
cred. Let this be done in the first instance
and as soon as the cedars have commenced to
grow we'll, the intermediate spaces between
the ranges should be well MANFRED and set
with Bermuda grass. And the process of
fertilizing these intermediate spaces should
be carried on from year to year. The branches
of the cedsrs may be so entwined as to form
q complete network. Others may be de-
pressed between the ranges, so as to cause
them to take root, and become as resistant as
the original stems.
Now, what will be the result of all this? IF
carried out according to my suggestions, the
sand will accumulate in. the meshes of this
hedge-row, and in three years from its plant
ing will attain height of at least ten feet,
and be more durable and more serviceable, in
every point of view, than granite.
Will the people take these suggestions seri-
ously into consideration, or will they pass
them by as valueless, because they are so
cheap? 7. ]. HEARD.
