The most serious feeling aroused by
he building of the protection levee on
Alexander street and the consequent
cutting off the north end OF town
seems 10 be caused by the reflection
that the same. or rather a much better
protection levee might have been
thrown up along tho northern limits,
and the whole town protected as well
as Ia now the case with the main part
OF tao city. 1t is true that at The time
when this leveo might have been built
all interest Was concentrated on the
front, and all available forces wore en-
gagged in a day and night struggle to
prevent much moro serious calamity;
but IN future, when such a visitation
Is threatened, the people Of one dis.
trlct Of the city have the same right
TO consideration as others, and If there
is any means Of aveIling such dis
tInclion il should not be neglected
1t Is quite sure that \ protection leVee
along tho north limit, if it could have
been put mp in time, would have kept
the whole city dry, aud not ouly saved
