brate h Completion Of the SeawaIl.
The Entire City to be Raised to the
Leved OF the Great Wall.

pletion Of the Galveston seawall, the
greatest structure Of it's kind in the
world. was celebrated today by run

h state to Galveston Governor Ian.
ham was present and made an eulogis-
tic address. commenting on the re-
markabIe work which has been accom-
plished here, Galveston now being In
line to seek advantage from the unique
position OF the city as ~ uptodate por:
and railroad center. nearest Of all to
h new Panama canal, and natural
outlet for the commerce OF nearly one
half the United States.
The seawall was completed the last
Of July. Two granite monuments were
erected at the foot OF fremont street
to commemorate the completion of the
wall and monuments were unveiled
today.
The Galveston seawall represents enc
Of the finest pieces of engineering
work of any kind ever accomplished
in America. The wall is 1883 feet
long, IS feet wide at base. five feet
riprap apron extending q feet on. on
the gulf side. The contract price of
the wall was s1,198, 31S. The actual
construction Of the wall proper cor
sumed n year, four months and sew
enteen days.
The grade of the city is now to be
raised to slope gradually from the top
Of the seawall. This Will necessitate
a raising of the grade from one to fif-
teen feet according to location. For
this purpose the state of Texas has
donated all state taxes collected on
Galveston county for a period of Is
years. Bonds to the amount of 1,50G,
900 are to be issued for this purpose.
A contract has been let for the grade
raising wor
Under the terms of the contract a c a
nal is to be dug On the inside the sea-
wall which will permit the entrance of
hopper dredges loaded with sand taken
from the channel in h bay to come
in and discharge the filling to the re-
quired depth. This work is now I'M
der way. The last session of congress
provided for an extension Of the q
weston county seawall to protect Fort
Crockett for a distance OF 1900 feet to
the west. This will extend the wall to
Fifth street so hat the city of Cal
weston on the. Gulf side will be pre-
tected by seawal the full extent OF its
corporate limits.

Protect the LeVce.

y communication from the st. Fran
els Leyee Beard is as 70 lows. and ex
plains itself:
1t IS important for the maintenance
OF the levee and the protection Of same
gainst wave wash and storms, that
the leVee be protected on the river side
by woods, trees, underground. etc, and
the Levee Board desires to discourage
the cutting down of timber aud under
growth on the river side of the levee,
and to encourage as far as possible the
growth of same.
This is very important matter and
will. not emily where protection of
woods now exists give present addition.
al safety and security to the levee and
interests of the Levee District, but b
encouraging the growth of such under.
growth, will increase the security of
the levee in future yeas.
1t is not so important that this
woods protection be only within short
distance Of the leyee, but it is even
more important for it to extend I'M
broken for say about oue-quarter of a
mile from the levee towards the river
This distance will cause the force of
the waves to be broken before reaching
the leyee
The Levee Board al tbs time is not
N position financially to handle this
important matter as possibly It's im-
portauce justltrs It would possibly
be good investment looking towards
the safety OF the l4vee and the Levee
District If the Levee Board was able al
this time to purchase such of these
lands as lie on the river side eff the
levee and use them for this purpose
However on account OF lack Of funds
the Board will have to depend upon
the patriotism and interest Of the md.
yidual land owners along the line, and
requests them, as il does you, to assist
the Leyee Board towards the above
ends in so far as you NAY he able, and
as your individual interests otherwise
will allow you.
Yours truly,
