LeVee Work Progressing.

A mass meeting was held at the
Lyric last Thursday night for the pur-
pose of perfecting final arrangements
relative TO the building of the new
levee around West Hickman, protect
ing it from periodical overflow Of
the Mississippi.
The meeting was well attended and
an enthusiastic interest taken in its
proceedings.
Judge r. S. Murrell. who has work
ed faithfully for a month soliciting
funds for this work, reported that he
had succeeded in getting the neces-
sary $4,000 on paper.
The most important step in the
meeting was the appointment of To-
cal levee board, which would be au
thorized to so ahead with the plans
90 complete the work in such a man
ner as the members deemed best.
To fiji this important place c. p. Shu-
mate, Col. c. L. Walker and Henry
C. Helm were elected.
Their first official act was TO make
a call for all money subscribed TO
the levee fund. A notice was sent
out Monday to each subscriber, re-
questing him TO pay the amount at
once. All three of the local banks
were designated as repositories for
this fund, and the money may be
paid at either of them.
II is well to state right on the start
that nothing can be done until this
money is collected. The board is wise
in making such a decision; they will
not be handicapped by uncertainties
when they start the work.
Up TO today quite a number Of
subscribers have responded to the
call. and it is hoped that all will
be paid within another week. The
quicker this is done, the quicker the
work will begin. Some who are in a
position to pay have not coughed up
yet They should do so today.
The Mengel Box Co. puts up $4,000
and the Richmond & Bond Co. gives
$1,000. This money is ready.
II this levee is to be built in the
year of our Lord 1910 every man who
has subscribed MUST pay at once,
so that the board can go ahead with
specifications, bids and letting of
contract. An unreasonable or unnec-
essary delay may mean the withdraw
al of Col. Mengel's donation, because
he proposes to have a levec around
his factories before another high wa
ter He is exactly right. too. But
We should be interested just as much |
as he in rushing the work. The
board is anxious to get busy and all
depends on prompt payment.
The advantages to be derived from
a levee in West Hickman are obvious.
Every business establishment in Hick
