FICAT ON RIVER BEGINS
Water Company Lays Wire Mat to
Protect Pumping Station.
BURMEsTER URGES TO ACTION
sends Letters TO Interested Parties
Asking Concerted Action for APP
preparation of Quarter MIL
lion from Government.

The Omaha Water company has a gang
of men at work putting in wire mating
about two miles above the Florence pump
ing station. on the Missouri river. About
1000 yards of mating will be placed this
year.
This is a continuation OF work which the
company does every year, in an endeavor
to protect the river bank in the vicinity
Of Pigeon creek. There is always some
danger, considered remote, however, that
the river will cut over a section Of ground
in a bend at that point, shoot south through
a new channel and leave the pumping sta
ton some distance behind.
Superintendent Hunt, of the water COM
pany, in a recent conference, rather dis
couraged the idea that the river will take
this new shoot within the next five or ten
years, IL at all. His experience in dealing
with the idiosyncrasies of the Missouri
backed by personal travels over the sup
posedly dangerous place, gave considerable
assurance to the men In the conference
Hunts opinion was in line with the pro
nouncements of the railroad engineers, but
the parties interested still insist that tc
be on the safe side the government should
be brought in with an appropriation Of al
least $250.000 to do permanent work. A
great deal of government piling and rip
rap placed on the Iowa side eight or tel
years ago at a cost of something lik,
5000, is now gone. Men outside tn,
government service assert that willow
and wire mating are the only two safet!
devices that will hold the bank, and the.
point to the lost government work as proc
of their contention.
Acting Mayor Burmester has sent on
letters to the Omaha Commercial club
the Park board, county commissioners, tn,
village councils Of Florence and Dunde
and the city officials Of Council Bluffs
urging that they at once pass resolution
to be sent the Nebraska and Iowa con
gressional delegations in behalf of an ap
preparation of $3.50, 900, to be made availabl
at once, for permanent work on the rive
banks.
The acting mayor points out that, IL
great rise comes in the upper reaches o
the river there is likelihood OF much dam
age being done to county, city and com
mercial interests, and the organization
to whom the letters are being sent ar
urged to take action at once in the effoI
to secure the appropriation from the gov
eminent.
