To the Honorable Board OF Trustees-Gentlemen
There is old saving that Z" stitch in time saves
worth pound Of cure" l therefore wish to call
your attention to the condition OF the Sacramento
river levee Immediately below and adjoining the city
where for distance Of quarter or half 4 mile il
is but little above the hight Of the flood line of
1881. Further down. the levee is higher again, So
that, it stands the weakest part Of the evee be
low the city anywhere this side Of Ereeport is so
close 20 the city that il break were to occur it
might be possible for the water to attain a hight
sufficient 10 overflow the Y-street levee and flood
that portion Of the city between and streets.
l would therefore recommend that sufficient work
be done on the Sacramento-riyer levee below Y
street 70 place il in condition superior to that Of
any for some distance down, that if break should
occur 1t must Of necessity be so far away from us
that the bacWater cannot attain sufficient hight to
cause us any damage, or the apprehension of 1t.
This work need not cost 10 exceed Sl,0.0, and al
though perhaps some may say it IS a little outside
OF our levee system still it is not properly so bus
being for own Immediate protection and benefit,
had better be done BY ourselves than be left undone
At great risk OF the interruption OF drainage,
and damage TO the lower portion Of our city from
the immense damage that would be done by the
flooding Of the richest portion Of the country trbu
tary TO us. Respectfully,
The Ha-bormsster reported S135 collected
