THINKS THE RIVER SHOULD BE
DREDGED.

Editor FL PasO Herald:
have read with interest your com
mentS and others upon the proposed
leVee road on the river bank TO con-
LroI the flood waters Of the Rio
have watched it more or less for
the past four years. as I have hunted
and fished up and down the river
and I have an opinion as to how the
river should be controlled
In my opinion 1t is a national job
or rather an International job. I dc
not believe the river can be controlled
by levee on the bank L believe the
river should be dredEed TO a depth o.
at last so feet below the present sur
face OF the river bed and the banks Of
the river should be raised 80 fest
above the present banks taking the
river south OF the city for example.
The river should be Strengthened
and made TO run as near the present
boundary line as practicable, but Il
run straight REGARDLESS Of the present
boundary lines and should be rip
raped with concrete or stone OF
course the boundary line would have
to be changed in some minor respects
but the river should be made per
manent and controlled
Then the entire valley could be used
and all improvements W6uId be per
manent. I think the banks should be
200 feet wide and 80 feet higher thar
rfp-rapped 80 feet or mora under the
present bed of river with the bank
at a As degree slope.
The river will furnish all soil needed
for banks. and also much Tor filling
I'D all old channels. Also I believe
there is silt enough in the river 10 fiji
in all the low part of The CITY, f g.

river can be controlled without SONS

The volume OF the river at this
point is such that control is feasible
and viii have to be made before am
permanence can be secured. 7 also
think that all the lower part OF this
city should be filled up to grade with
the improved river bank. and ] think
