THE WORK AT FERN BREAK.-The work
under the contract for closing the Fern levee
break is nearly completed. When the brush
mattress and facine work was completed and
weighted down with sacks of sand across the
top TO above the waters edge, the water still
passed through this obstruction to quite an
extent, but was two feet lower inside the
leyee than the surface of the river. Hay
was then strewn on the river side of the
brush and earth thrown in upon it, to De
drawn in and fill the openings, and also fur
tier application Of sand-5ags has been made
the entire length OF the break. Yesterday
the water was four feet lower inside the levee
taan the riv-r, and sill decreasing, but quite
an amount still percolates through. The
work is considered entirely successful, how
ever. apd 1t is expected will soon be imper-
vious to the pressure, and show dry land in
side the break where there was recently a
in depth. The good effect is already seen
throughout Lsvee District No. l, and at Y
street the water on the south side Of the levee
was as low Yesterday morning as on the
north, with a strong drawing off movement
of the water down the drainage canal. In
the afternoon the pumps of earle g. Croly
were stopped as no longer necessary, and the
fullest opportunity for the wafer to escape by
the regular outlets will now be given, and
~ e -
country will no doubt soon be relieved from
its long submerged and damaging condition.
Temporary levees are being constructed
around the Mesick breaks, to prevent over
flow from any higher waters that may occur
during this spring.
