Much Work Done.

The bridges at Bay ST. Louis and
the Rigolets had to be almost en-
tirely rebuilt, and even the portions
left standing after the storm had to
be strengthened. At the Rigolets it
was necessary to rebuild nine spans.
In addition. twenty-five miles Of
track between Chef Menteur and Bay
st. Louis had to be rebuilt. Nearly
2,0C0 workmcn were engaged on this
construction work, and the cost ap-
proximates 100000. The cost of the
reconstruction work, together with
the loss of business, probably repre-
sents a loss to the Louisville and
Nashville of over s1,000000.
The railroad officials are delighted
with the quick work done in repair
ing the damage, and the resumption of
traffic will be appreciated by the
travelling public, especially people liv-
ing on the gulf coast who have been
deprived Of communication with New
Orleans.

Just how many lives were lost will
not be known until reports are re-

Tennessee appears from accounts so

As the tax levy of the city of Hat

be made at the next sitting of the city
council, which meets Monday night,
much speculation is being INDUCED
as to whether or not it will be found
necessary to increase the levy in or
der to meet current municipal ex-
penses, and as is always the case,
there are those who favor an increased
assessment if such should be necessary
and those who are bitterly opposed to
any increae in taxation.
To avoid an increase in the levy.
some members of the council are said
to favor a curtailment of expenses il
order to bring the expenditures down
to a parity with the revenues. as the
assessment now stands, and in this
connection it is said that the attitude
of certain councilmen appears to be
favorable to beginning the policy of
retrenchment by cutting the public
school term down to seven months in
stead Of nine. This suggestion, if
made, will undoubtedly meet with
stubborn opposition from the school
board, Mayor Donald and some mem.
bers of the council, a number of whom
