LANDOWNERS LOSE
.LEVEE SYSTEM FIGHT
Crusade Against Mississippi
Levee System Checked by
Courts Decision

Memphis. Jluy 10.-Riparian landowners
river levee system received a check in
federal court here today. Judge John e.
Mccall dismissed their petition for an
injunction praying that the Mississippi
river commission be restrained from main
taining those entertainments already in ex-
istence and from building additions to the
system from Cairo, ILL.,, to the Gulf OF
Mexico This action was brought by the
Riparian Landowners association COM
posed of large number of persons who
own property subject to overflow in the
Mississippi valley. They alleged that the
levees caused large areas to be inun-
dated which would not otherwise be af-
fected by the annual river floods.
Judge McCall's opinion dismissing the
action recited that the government,
through its agent, the river commission.
had a right to build and maintain levees
for the maintenance of navigation and in
the interest of commerce and held that
the damages sustained by riparian owns
ers is merely incidental. This feature,
attorneys say, will stay the prosecution
of a large number of suits against levee
boards to recover damages aggregating
millions of dollars due to overflowed
lands. as well as release the government
from liability.
United States Attorney Todd. arguing
to the court against the prayer for the
Injunction declared IL the levee boards
and the river commission is halted, the
Mississippi river would annually over
flow 35,0O0ooo acres of land valued at
s.. 900. 900 600. 1t would also mean, he as
serted, the practical destruction of score
of cities and towns along the river, the
existence of which has been made possi-
Bile, he said. through the protection az
forded by the levees.
