which work., in accordance with section ~,
of act No 81 of the session of 1879, and see
ton /, of act No. SO, OF the session of 1880,
clearly devolves upon the parishes, and can
not be undertaken by the state, such As the
'uany miles Of wooden revetlnent OF levees
and iasc ming of banks now existing or re
uuired for protection ottlevees; the drain
age of ponds ct water from the base OF le-
wees the cutting ont OF erayfish holes the
closing OF unlicensed rice tiun.ts and road
ways, and the repair Ut damages caused by
hogs, 10y the washing OF waves and the abra
SION of trift logs. etc. Without such care
and protect u of levees by mrOchial au-
tIorities, aidedb by the active cooperation
of all good citizens. there can be II" ses;ilrl-
ty from disastre us lnunsta,ion. The state
government cannot be held responsible be
yoni the judicions expenditure ot available
funds, and can afford protection against ais
astrous overtlows to that extent only.
