STRENGTHENING WEAK POINTS
Northern Portion of City Is Flooded
from Waters Of the Break in Auxil-
ary Levee-steady Downpour in the
Vicinity Of Memphis, Tenn.

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. MANY
people are moving from their homes in
the Ecthern part of this city as re-
suit of a break in the protection levee
built by the city of Memphis one year
ago The 4evee gave way early on
Friday morning and the district OF
North Popular Boulevard and west Of
Fourth street is now under 2 feet of
water If the river reaches a stage
Of II feet, which seems probable, a
larger area near the business portion
OF the city will feel the effects OF the
flood.
Advices from Marion, Ark, state
that the levee at Holly Bush remains
intact although break is expected to
occur at any hour. The water is
tapping the top or the structure and a
large force CT men are busily engag
ed in Strengthening ,he weaker por-
tons.
Should cregasse occur at Holly
Bush. the entire St Francis basin
in Arkansas would receive the rush
CT waters.
At Helena the main levee remains
intact The northern part of that
city is flooded frcm the break in the
auxiliary levee which accurred Thurs
day, and people living in that section
have been housed elsewhere.
a steady downpour of rain was re-
corded in the vicinity OF Memphis
Thursday night. The river Friday
morning marked 80 8 feet, a rise of
eight-tenths since Thursday.
