The Levee Question.

Below we produce in full the circular
letter of Col. ii p. Rodgers, president
of the st. Francis leyee board. The
colossal misfortune which has be-
fallen the people living in the sub
merged st. Francis basin cannot be
lilly swept aside by humane and pro.
gressive people.
In substance President Rodgers asks
your support in favoring the passage of
bill through the coming sitting of the
state legislature authorizing the leyee
board to issue bonds to the amount of
$3.50 Geo. The real estate lying in the
basin will form the collateral, based
upon the taxing power of the board
The passage of such measure is in
accord with our convictions, as by
this process the means could at once
be raised to complete the proposed
work. 1t is false economy to attempt
n gigantic enterprise without the as.
surance OF being supported.
In our judgment. had bonds been is
sued to meet the demands of the board
two years ago, the disaster which is
now upon the people on the river front
would have been ayerted. The action
of this overflow is convincing that the
project is highly feasible. and to reap
its successful results needs only the
wherewitE to build substantial levee
-one that will be equal to the emer-
gency.
