port Waterworks Company, of Shreve-
port, La, are contemplating putting
revertments on the west bank of Red
River at Egan's or Colquitt's Point,
about five miles above the City of Shreve-
port, and, Whereas, believing that such
a step on the part of the Shreveport
Works Company would have g tendency
to force the water in Red River back
against the Bossier or east bank of said
river and thereby endanger the levees OF
Bossier parish on the east side of said
river by causing the banks to cave, and
thereby encroaching upon the Bossier
Levee; be it resolved,
That this body, representing the Bos-
sier Levee interest, do most strenously
protest against such steps of the Shreve-
port Waterworks Co., and that the Sec
rotary of this Board be, and he is hereby
instructed to file this protest with the
said Shreveport Waterworks Co., and
with the Secretary of War, at Washing
ton, by mailing copy of this resolution
to each, at his earliest convenience.
On motion, the resolution was adopted
unanimously.
There being no further business, the
Board adjourned to meet again on first
Thursday in September, (third da) to
receive and open bids on Rough and
Ready Levee, and to receive bids on
Levee District lands.
