was brought to the city Sunday after
noon by Mr.. Shields. an engineer on

that Saturday night the water against
the levee and dyke in the pocket was
a foot deep and Sunday morning he
found the water of and stock on the
ground, from which the water hal re-
coded. He further said the water was
not turbulent at the end OF the dyke.
which but a day before was washing
away most OF the stone placed there
To protect 1t. Further out in the
stream the water was very rough and
the current swift. The change OF the
current, 1t Is thought. is due either
to the break above 1t on this side or
to the fact that the river there is
making a new channel. and IL the new
channel is formed it will leave Green.
Vile on beautiful lake.
The protection Ieves in the northern

by order OF the mayor The crevasss
was made with view to relieving the
situation within the confines Of the

made will let the water now standing
