. and 7 and upon one egg near the figure

Civil Engineers Charles Thrupp and
John Henley, who have been making
survey of Ohio levee, in accordance with
an ordinance recently passed by the city
council, with view TO ascertaining how
much filling will be necessary to raise the
levee to height Of fifty-three feet above
low water mark, have finished their work,
so far as Ohio levee between its intersec-
tons with Cross and Mississippi levees is
concerned, They find, as anticipated, that
but little filling will be necessary between
| Fourth and Fourteenth streets. From the
latterup and the former down, an average
foot of filing will need to be done. A plat
will be prepared, showing how much work
will have to be done, and presented to the
council at its next regular meeting, In the
meantime the work of surveying has
stopped here. The ordinance, in accord
ance with which the work has been begun,
contemplates a survey OF oil tho lovoes
around the city, and this work should be
prosecuted to the end while the surveyors
have their hands in.
