SOUTHERN FLOOD ZONE
Colonel William T. Rossell. Z. S. A.,
a member of the Mississippi commits
sion and until March last its acting
president, said upon his return from
the Mississippi flood zone that the lev
ees should be raised to the gauge es-
tablished by the commission in order
to be prepared for the possibility of an
other flood calamity. The United
States government has been much ex-
ercised the foods this year. hav-
ing expended large sums Of money dur
ing the last twenty years to hold the
river back. Even when the ievees were
thought to have been made inyincible
is from $4,000 900 to $4,0O0,O00 a year.
Besides this big sum-, the states have
done much to improve conditions.
1t is a curious thing about the Afissis-
sippi problem, the engineers SAY. that
as soon as all known conditions are
met by the works Of the engineers the
river does something that it has never
done before. This year. when all the
levees We're strengthened and provision
had been made for the seeping through
the sand bottoms at the weak points,
the unusual thing was the highest wa
ter that the Mississippi was ever
known to carry.
The Mississippi commission is not
discouraged, because the conditions
which caused the extraordinary high
mark are not likely, the commission
thinks, to be combined again in a life
time, as they were never SO combineC
before.
