PORTAGE is KICKING.
People Do Not Like Maj. Warren's Rec
ommendation Regarding the
LeveeS.

Portage, Wis, Aug. 6-[Special. J.
Much adverse criticism is expressed in
this city over the recent recommendation
made by Maj. j. G. Warren, chief of
the engineer corps, to the secretary Of
war for the abandonment of the gov
eminent levees along the First ward in
this city. The levee system in question
was completed ON January 81, 1890. ut a
cost to the government of S11, SCOOP.
there is little to fear from floods here in
the face of the fact that only four years
ago when the Wisconsin broke through
this same leyee the rush Of water from
the Wisconsin to the lower valley Of the
Fox so badly washed out the Fort
WlnnebagO lock in the Fox river that it
had to be entirely rebuilt
Prof. l.. S. Smith, who is now in con-
nection with his duties at the state uni
versity, in the employ of the state levee
commission, and who has made an ex-
haustive study Of flood conditions at
Portage, does not hesitate to say that the
First ward levee is entirely inadequate
IN fact was a poor job from the start.
Prof. Smith predicts much damage down
the Fox valley, unless the levee shall be
strengthened in the near future. The
levee is needed to protect the interests
of navigation on the Fox river and any
effort of the engineer division to throw
the responsibility Of what may possibly
happen, should this leyee be abandoned
upon the city Of Portage, will meet with
strenuous objection
