Mayor Parsons assurance that
Cairo need not feel discouraged over
the prospects OF receiving S2o0,oOu
from the government, as provided
for in the amendment to the Senate
Rivers and Harbors bill, is the kind
of news we have been praying for
ever since ii was announced that
the House conferees on the measure
were opposed TO the amendment. The
mayor haunted the halls and COM
mittee rooms in the capitol city for
five weeks and did not desert his post
until the congressman and senators
had departed from Washington to at
tend the national conventions. That
he returns to Cairo with certain in
side information" indicates that our
chief executive has been pulling
ropes" to an excellent advantage.
Perhaps he succeeded in winning
over, single-handed, the opposing
House conferees, before Starting for
Cairo with the good news.
The government is besieged with
requests from all sections of the
stricken district for financial aid in
repairing and strengthening leyees.
A fund OF $4,000, 900 has been made
available for Immediate use by the
Mississippi River Commission and at
a recent meeting of this body, held
In St. Louis, requests for sums ag-
gregating s12,000,000 were re-
ceived. Cairo made no effort to
claim any part of this fund Chief
Engineer Bixby has ruled that the
Mississippi River Commission can
not make levee Improvements except
as an aid to navigation. If this rul-
ing is legal, it would be usless for
Cairo to try for portion of the Sc,
600, 900, as the rivers in the vicinity
OF the city are always nayigable,
The Cairo amendment provides
that we shall raise fund of $780,
900 and spend dollar for dollar with
the government in rebuilding and
strengthening the levees. Just how
this fund is to be created should be
determined at once, 80 that II the
prediction of Mayor Parsons con-
corning the amendment is correct
we will be able to proceed at once
with the improvements.
Mayor Parsons has invited repr'
sentatiyes of the various railroads
interested in the levee system O.
meet with the city officials and the
executive committe Wednesday for
the purpose of discussing plans ~:
rebuilding the levees The rail
roads are vitality interested in the
matter and considerable assistance
should be received from the various
corporations in raising the fund re
CURED by the amendment If we ar
to be visited by another food as
damaging as the recent rise, it would
be cheaper for the railroads to re
build the entire leyee system at thei
own expense. The losses suffered by
the railroads in the recent food
doubtless would pay for an adequato
levee system.
Cairo should be prepared to pro-
eeed without delay in the event III,
amendment fails to carry. There il
no time to be lost, for who can tell
but what we will have to battle with
