The closing Of the breach would
probably cost a quarter OF a million
dollars, 100000 of which has already
been appropriated by the Mississippi
river commission. The balance will be
provided by the La Fourche levee
board, the planters, the railroads af-
fected and other interests.

large quantity of lumber and a million
sacks of earth would be required. II
