THE TERMINAL.
The Terminal people are about ready to
re-commence work on the eastside levee.
The places where there is dispute ex-
listing with the property owners will be
let alone, until the courts finally decide
the matter at issue. Where there is no
dispute the levee will be built at once.

as good work as it wished, but will ex-
pedite matters.

some way to head him off.
