Unanimous resolutions of the Police
Jury of East Carroll parish, Louisiana,
and the Board of Aldermen of the
town of Providence. Louisiana, in re-
lation to the revetment and levees on
the Mississippi river. above the town of
Providence, adopted on December 20,
1898:
Whereas. The engineers of the
United States, acting under authority
of the Hon Mississippi River Commits
sion, expended in1893 and subsequent
ly some 1884, 900 to construct bank
revetment 10. lao feet in length. on the
Mississippi river. just above the town
of Providence, Louisiana, and also ex-
pended some $81. 900 to build leyees
in the rear of said revetment and near
it. and the State of Louisiana has also
expended som $116,00 on levees at the
same place, thereby making total ex-
pend,ture by the Government at that
point of $4S5,O0O and by the State OF
Louisiana of $4,000, and by both
com bined of 1851 900;
And whereas. Said revetment and
levees furnished protection from the
devouring waters of the Mississippi
river to the town of Providence, in
which the property is worth $3.50. 900,
and to twenty-nine plantations in East
Carroll parish which are worth $780,
600, all of which property (worth
5000. 000) would be irretrievably lost
if said revetment is destroyed, because
the town, in that event, would cave
into the river. and new levee would
necessarily throw out said plantations,
unless built across Lake Providence al
an enormous expense;
And whereas, There has been con
siderable caving of the river bank JUS
above said revetment, which endanger.
it seriously, and has caused a portion
of IL to cave into the river already;
And whereas, Said revetment anl
levees will be lost, If something is no
done in the near future to stop salt
caving. thereby ~entailing a loss to th,
United States Government of publ,
works which cost $435 900. and to tn
State of Louisiana of works which COS
SIG. 900. and to citizens of the Union 0
property worth 100000. Making
total loss of 81. Isl, COON addition t
enormous Incidental loss to the paris
and State;
Therefore resolved, That we respect
fully call this matter to the attentio
of the Hon. Mississippi River Commits
sion. and request such action as wi
speedily and surely protect said reye'
lnent, levees and property from de:
truction;
Resolved, That in our opinion th
best and safest way to accomplish thl
end would be to extend said revetmen
about 1000 feet up the river at prot
able cost of $3.50. 600;
Resolved, That copies OF this resolu
ton be furnished to the Hon. President
members and secretary OF the Missls
sippi River Commission. and Senator
Of this State. and Congressman fror
this District. and that said officials b
earnestly requested to obtain this re

d. ". GILMoUR, Sect'y.

At a large and enthusiastic mass
meeting of the citizens of East Carroll
held at the court house on Tuesday, the
following resolutions were offered by
Hon. j. E. Ransdell and unanimously
adopted:
We, the citizens of East Carroll, view
with extreme alarm the rapid caving of
the river bank at Salem, which en-
dangers the levee at that point, and
threatens untold destruction to proper
ty in our parish and State if new
leyee is not constructed before the next
high water
We appreciate highly the efforts OF
our State Eng ineers in letting the con-
tract for levee at Salem, but in view
of the great danger and lie lateness OF
the season and the continued bad
weather, we fear that the work under
that contract will not be completed in
time 70 save the district, and we earn
estly request our Levee Board to meet
at the earliest moment practicable sc
that steps might be taken to cooperate
with the State Engineers and hasten
work on said levee
Resolved, That the members of the
Leyee Board from this parish be re
quested to obtain meeting of thu
Board as soon as possible.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the resolutions of the Police Jury o
East Carroll and the Board of Alder
men of the town of Providence
adopted this day in regard to revet
ment and levees above the town o
Providence, and earnestly request on
Congressman. Hon. S. L. Baird, ant
Senators. Hon. S. ID. McEnery ant
Hon. Don. Gallery. to do everythin:
in their power to aid in obtaining TIL
results asked for ~ said resolutions.
