Otto Kuehne Tells of bikes in
Germany.
EXTEND KAW BRIDGES

In speaking of the bikes which are
nearly completed, a representative
number of North Topeka business
men today expressed confidence that
the entertainments would protect the
First ward from any reasonable
amount of high water. However, the
sentiment was that the work of
frightening the bridges and thus
affording additional water way should
, done as soon as possible.
Il feel perfectly safe behind these
dikes." said Otto Kuehne, president of
the Kuehne Preserving Works. These
entertainments are big and strong
enough to hold back any ordinary
food. Some people are afraid that
the water will undermine the embank-
ment, but L think that they need have
no fear of anything like that. From
my observation of the action of the
river it would take at least three days
for a strong current to have any
effect upon the banks and by that time
any flood we have known would be
going down. However, / think that
the sewer gates should be cemented
shut in time of high water. 1 repeat
these bikes are plenty strong enough
to withstand the force of the Kansas
river current at flood time. My home
town of Eilenburg, (near Leipzegin,
Saxony Germany is on an island in
q branch of the Elbe river. 1t is sur
rounded by bikes about two feet high
and four feet thick. These embank-
ments have never given away under
the pressure of the many floods 1

Another man who compares these
bikes with others is J. F. Buell.. as

Company F. of the Hath New York

1.-The dike5 along the Kansas river

the surrounding country from flooding.
