advantage of having thorough know
ledge of the river channel, throughout
| the valley and having it carefully map
ped out, with every obstruction and i'm
provement accurately located, is that
any so-cslled temporary work done can

manent. It can be put in with def
mite plan always in view OF eventually
having q completed work. Unless that
policy is pursued we may stop break
| in a bank one year and the next stop
another break with a jetty that will
throw the water against the one Of the
year before and totally destroy it."

must be done in the matter, and very
soon, too.
