RAISING GALVESTON
HOW THE WHOLE CITY WILL se
 ELEVATED ABOVE THE GULF.

Two Square Miles of Territory to Bs
 Filled Tn From Seven to Twenty
 Feet-Engineer Lindon W. BateA
 Who Originated the Plan.
 To raise itself bodily above the dan ger level of flood is the mighty task that the city of Galveston has under taken. The work involves 100000 cubic yards of filling, covering an area of approximately two square miles, which will be graded up from seven to twenty feet
 The storm of September. 1900, which destroyed $40,000,00O worth of prop erty and more than 5000 lives. flooded Galveston to height of 15.1 feet above mean low water. No sooner did the city recover from the awfu: blow than a movement was begun to prevent a recurrence of such disasters.
 A sea wall was the first measure of preeaution decided on, and more than q million dollars was promptly voted for it's construction. Work was be- gun in April. 1902, and concrete wall of the strongest make is now nearly

In the latest circular they place 12,600 shares, the balance of the treasury stock, as we understand, for sale. We can not understand where the differ. ence of 14,900 shares that were re- served in the treasury on October 1st, and the 12.600 that are now for sale checks up. You can readily see that there is difference of 2,300 shares that we know nothing about, and have no idea where this stock has gone. If this was sold to the public, am sure that the stockholders should get a chance to buy some, should they care to buy.
 If they did not sell, where has il gone to? We do not care for the s23 .000.o0, but just for the sake of knowing where We stand, we think

 But by far the greater problem for the engineers was where to procure cheaply tie immense quantity of ma terial for the filling and how to dis tribute it. To MT. Lindon ". Bates, the engineer whose plan has been adopted. belongs the credit of it's prac ticaI solution. He conceived the ides of a distributing canal parallel to the sea wall.
