Extreme Flood Level at New Orleans

A1<Ae4 CAhAO rAoOo A<0hoA az AsCW OftCueos
The river guage at New Orleans has
touched higher notch than at any
previous period during the present
crisis and Saturday, was even with the
highest mark of the 1898 high water
scare. the register indicating 17.9. The
opinion is hazarded by well informed
government officials that before New
Orleans gets through with the present
emergency guage of 10 feet will be
exhibited. So far the entire line of
Louisiana levees is intact and at New
Orleans, where the levee system is
easily among the most substantial
along the Mississippi river, little fear
is felt but what the immense volume
of water coming down will be kept
within bounds. Tireless vigilance is
being exercised to maintain the present
efficiency of the levee protection.
