GOVERNMENT ENGINEER
AND IRON MOUNTAIN co.
MAY UNITE in EFFORTS
To Save Railroad and Other Property at Birds
Point--River Moved Inland $40 Feet
In Two Weeks

3 600 feet, and the widest portion OF
the land cut away opposite Birds
Point during that time was $40 feet.
In ether words, the river bed moved
inland $40 feet during the last two
weeks 1t was still cutting rapidly
about two hundred feet above the
Cotton Belt incline and unless the cut
ting is checked by the falling of the
river this incline will be cut away in
another week.
Congressman Russell in whose d's-
trict this trouble lies was the chief
spokesman. He understood from Col.
Mitchell that there was little or no
money available in the fund at the
disposal OF the engineer department
at ST. Louis, but he felt that if the
railroad company would co-operat
with the engineers something might
be done to relieve the situation.
Mr.. Miller of the Iron Mountain.
said the company had already
spent great deal of money
but could not do systematic
work because it had not the equipment
and as this was the only point In its
system requiring such work 1t did not
feel it advisable to procure such an
expensive plant
Mr.. Russell believed that the gov,
eminent could be induced to permit
the use of its equipment if the rail
road company would agree to pay tn
cost Of the work, and this proposition,
it is understood will be submitted to
the railroad officials.
Mr.. Miller stated that the company
had made an estimate some time ago
as to the probable cost of securing
the bank at Birds Poitt and thought
it would be over 100000; and as it
could move its yards and incline to
Norfolk, some miles below Birds
Point. for about half that amount it
preferred to do the latter
II was agreed, however. by the eX-
perts present, that the cost of max,
ing the situation secure at Birds Point
in the manner proposed, would not
exceed 100000; and it is thought the
railroad company will agree to bear
share of the cost or all of it, if the
government will do the work.
Some years ago under direction OF
Col Mitchell, about 2,000 feet of mat
tress work was done Just above Birds
Point which is holding the bank we'll
and if this work were continued down
to cover the bank to where the Cot
ton Belt incline is located, it would
render everything secure.
