Friend; l note your proposal TO ralisvs
the BRACES valley nom overflow by
strengthening the river. That In NY opla-
/ ion Is not a remedy for tho evil you now
suffer from. Your farm oVoriows ba-
cause the river bed can not carry OF
the water as fast as Il now comes down

some OF the tributaries so that tho pver

I IL can not be that our people will con-

money will soon be returned 10 the State
