NO FURTHER TROUBLE.
The District Below the City Free From
All Danger.


A goodly number of men continue to
guard the levee between this city and the
Pocket" although there seems to be no
likelihood of trouble. The banks are now
several feet above the water, and appar-
emily safe at all points.
Referring to the matter of the expense
entailed in protecting the levee, Supervisor
Black yesterday informed a RECORD UNION
reporter that it would smount to So day
for thirty-three men, and the cost of seven
teen shovels and 900 bags. The expense,
he said would be divided between that
leyee district and the city, and would be
such a trife for each that it was hardly
worth mentioning.
Now that the little excitement attendant
upon the high water has abated, q glance
back at the events of the last few days will
show that the City Trustees have earned
the good opinion of the public Il is true
they did only their duty, but even this
cannot be said Of all officials. While it is
understood that this city was at no time
in danger of inundatio0, still the Trustees
acted wisely in making provision for any
possible emergency that might arise
IL this their efforts were supplemented by
tHoSe VI DtflSlOn superintendent " right, OF
the Railroad Company, who placed loco
motives and trainloads of rock and sand
bags at the disposal of the officials, to be
used wherever necessary.
Timely and energetic action on the part
of Mayor Gregory and Trustees McLsugh
lin and Wolf, in going to the relief Of the
district below the city, has saved the cti-
zens of the latter from the inconvenience
of having back water up to the south leyee
for some months. This labor is fully ap-
