discuss means Of preventing the overflow Of the
rich lands in the Sacramento and San Joaquin
valleys. The establishment OF a uniform levee
system IS about the only remedy that can be
applied. and this will require large amount
Of money. The construction must be planned
by able engineers. and the works must be built
in an enduring way. The owners of lands along
the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers must
bear most of the expense. no legislature VIII
approve general State taxation for this purpose
Of reclamation. The present levee system is
obsolete and the result is that high water every
season causes the overflow Of valuable lands
This year Bouldin Island alone the damage
to celery lands amounted TO 100000.
