"A cave-in of the embankment at the
head of Pelican avenue is causing
much worriment to residents of AL
giers. A section about so feet wide
and extending about 80 feet back into
the levee, slid into the river at D. m.
Thursday. A pile driving boat has
been stationed at the gap to prevent a
further encroachment of the water.
Work will be begun on the levee at
the slightest sign of disintegration.
The sloughing away of the embank-
ment occurred without the slightest
warning. The levee was thought to
be in good condition, and it was con-
sidered that all danger of such a con-
tingency had passed as the levee had
withstood the pressure of the high wa
ter, and the length of time elapsing
since the recession of the flood was
considered ample for the bank to have
thoroughly dried out and become solid.
The cave-in was caused by the rising
of the surface of the mattress at that
point.
