Major II. b. Richardson, Chief of the Board
of State Engineers, yesterday stated that the
law requires the State TO build levees, and
when they are completed to commit them to
the custody of the police juries Of the parishes
in which the work has been done. 1t then
becomes the duty of the parish authorities to
TAKE CARE OF THE LEvEE
and in case 1t shall have been damaged by
road cuts, rice fumes or by using as a public
roadway, or trOdden down by cattle or pene-
trated by crawtsh, muskrat or other burrowinQ
creatures, to have all the damages repaired.
by such timely cure many dangerous break
can be Prev nted. All other important matter
is involved in the following: In u number of
cases new levees have been built in the Tar of
old levees, where they are
THREATENED ny GAZING BANKS,
and where the old levees remain standing
considerable areas of ground are inelosed
between the old and new leYees. In such n
case should the old leyee break, the water
will rush through and strike the new levee
clrryaway the new embankmtnt. IehowtV r
the water should be allowed to flow gently
into the inelosed basin, gradually filling it up,
this
MASS OF DEAD WATER
would act as u barrier, protecting the new
levee from the wearOf the current and bracing
up the old leyee by its weight Major Richard
son desires to impress upon the police iuries
of parishes whore such basins exist the in
portance of treating them in the manner indi-
GATED, as he believes much serious risk of Gre
