NeM Levees.

Shreveport Tines.j
1t may be said that Major Merry
q. Brown, Assistant State Engineer
Skipped in and then sEippedous
before any ofhis friends were aware
of bis presence in Shreveport Call
ed to Bossier on important BUSINESS
he came furriedty and retusned
without losing unnecessary time.--
His object was to- visit the line Of
levees from Shreveport to Willow
Chute on the Bossier side. He found
the banks caying -badly,in o namber
of places within 10 or 20sfees oflthe
road. After thorough survey, he
decided that it was necessary to
build-a levee from the Buckhorn
plantation to Cash Point, about 1000
yards in length. This point is of
great Importance and is the key to
the levee, system~of Bossier, which
in case of break, would threaten
two-thirds of the parish with. inan-
datioU. Et will take from,20,O00 to
10000 yards of dirt to- construct this
levee, which will be built under the
general State levee contract by con
vict labor: The people of Booster,
are indebted To their popular and
energetic Representative, Hon. Har-
~ Ogden, who approaching the i'm.
portauce of prompt action went to
Baton Rouge, few days since, laid
the situation before the proper au-
thorities who, upon his representa-
ton sent Maj. Brown to- investigate
the condition of the levees.
