The New LEvEE-WoRK DrscoyrIN-
uED.-Work on the new leyce was dis.
continued OH Tuesday last, by order of
the Lcvee Committee. The levee as il
now stands is in excellent shape, and ca
pable of withstanding any pressure of wat.
or that is likely ever to come against it.
The average width of the lcyee at the
base is about Is feet, with n slope of 3 10
| loot Oh the outside, and to | foot on
the inside, the top OF the lcvce being six
feet wide. The new levee in its pres
ent condition is the same highth of the
Ohio levee, though about fifteen inches
lower than the old Mississippi levec. II
should be remembered, however, that
the Mississippi leyee is nearly two
feet higher than the Ohio lcvec. The total
cost of the new levce so far is about
81, 600. which, all things considered. is
not an eXtravagant price for the amount
OF work. Competent judge. give it as
their opinion that the embankment is an
excellent piece OF work, and constructed
IN Il compact and safe manner. Mcssrs.
John +. Hely, and Thomas and vii
liam Bagnell deserve credit for the faith
fitness with which they performed the
duties assigned them in the construction
of the lcycc.
