When Constable Sheehan passed

Alderman McHale has pushed the work
of msttressing Ohio levee between Tenth
and Twelfth streets so rapidly that it now
remains only to sink the mattresses with
rock, aud for this purpose the rock will ar
rive tomorrow or Thursday. Only three
or four more mattresses need
now to be constructed. The
work, when lone, will be similar
TO some done under Mr.. McHsle's direction
on the Mississippi side of the city, and
which after being under water for about
two weeks, is found to have arrested the
sediment in the river to such an extent q
10 be almost entirely hidden from view by q
compact mas Of silt. There is no reason
10 doubt that the Ohio levee work will
operate just like this and permanently cure
oil abrasion there during high water.
