6oNDURANT GETS CONTRACT.
Will Close Gap In Levee
Near Hickman for sac, $40.

G. T. Bondurant, OF this city. was
the successful bidder on the work
of rebuilding that portion of the gov
eminent levee, five miles below Hick-
man, which was washed out during
the recent high water.
The price he Is to receive for this
work is 9,94O. and means the hand
ling of 100000 cubic yards of dirt.
Bids were opened at the office Of
Maj Smith, the government engineer,
a Memphis, Monday. Along with he
Reelfoot levee bids were those for fill
ing many other gaps and contracts
were let which involves the expendi-
ture OF s2Ss.6
All this work is scheduled TO be-
gin at once, or as soon as the sue
cessful bidders file their bonds and
sign the contracts. The work is to
be completed on or before the last day
of the present year. With favorable
weather, the work should be finished
long before that time.
The funds for this work will come
out of the special appropriation Of
81 500, 900 made by congress. some
time ago as an emergency fund for
levee work.
While Mr.. Bondurant he's had con-
siderable experience in this line Of
work and is familiar with all its de-
tails, is is probable that w. l.. Mos
by will assist him in the undertake
ing. The Courier is glad to see this
work let to Hickman man; it brings
the $4,000 here and puts It in the
channels of trade. furthermore. Mr..
Bondurant, being a large bottom land
owner. will see TO it that we get the
very best levee 1t is possible to con-
struct for the money spent.
The fact that the work is to begin
at once will also be good news for
all parties owning land behind the
levee.
