WATER COMPANY

When Work Is Completed Danger Oh

Be Eliminated.
WORK DONE IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE LEVEE BUILDING.

A stone retaining wall is being
built on the inside of the Chic levoe
by the Cairo Water Company, under
the Erection Of Manager Charles
Rooa.
At this point trestle was erected
several years ago for the purpose of
making the unloading of coal for the
water company easier. Later the
plan was found to be Objectionable
and the Illinois Nentral Railroad
Company dlled in the trestle with
dirt and cinders.
During the food of 1912 it was
feared that break might occur in
the levee at the trestle and thous-
ands of sacks OF dirt were used to re-
inforce it.
The work is being done in con-
junction with the rebuilding of the
Ievee and when the improvement is
completed Manager Roos says the
stone and concrete retaining wall
will make the levee impregnable.
Workmen employed to remove the
cinder top from the levee and fol.
iage and rubbish from the embank.
ment gained considerable headway
yesterday When the work ot
strengthening the leve is started ths
present embankment will be fire,

RA|LROADTRACKS

LEVEE PROBLEM
Girders Of Bridge Will be in Way if
Tracks Are Raised on
New Levee.
RAILROAD MEN AND CITY
OFFICIALS IN DISCUSSI0lI

In the raising of the Ohio river
leyee to the sixty foot mark quite a
problem is being presented where
the Illinois Central tracks cross the
Big Four just under the bridge APP
proaeh.
At the present there is but little
room under the bridge and in the
event the leyee is put UP several
feet higher, the steel girders will
have to be removed il the tracks
there now are TO be maintained
A party of railroad men includ-
ing Supt p. ] Maloney of the Big
Four and Supt. w =. Williams Of
the Illinois Central and the city
commissioners headed by Mayor
Wood had a conference on the sit
uation yesterday morning to de-
termiue the best plans to pursue
with regard to the matter.
Several ways ont of the difficulty
were suggested, one of these being
the construction of a loop levee
some distance east OF the present
embankment aud extending through
the Drainage District. This it was
argued would be a good way to
meet the exigeney,
Another plan that was suggested
was to abandon the interchange
track. that connects the Big Four
and Illinois Central at the bridge,
and locate il somewhere else. Then
the leyee could be extended up
aIoag the river at the 60 foot grad \
while the grade Of the tracks there
could be left unchanged The Big
-Four track would then begin to rise
to the higher grade north of the
crossing and the Illinois Central
track could also start to rise west
of the crossing, South Of the
crossing the tracRs would be un-
changed in grade
If this plan is carried out, the
tracks from the Illinois Central ele-
yator north Will not be raised, but
the GO foot leyee will be built on
the outside of the tracks.
The city commissioners held an
informal meeting in the afternoon
at which the proposition of remov-
gin dirt belonging to e. A, Smith
| from his property ives; of the Mis-
sissippi levee to be used for the inn
| proIement work on that side was
discussed with Mr. Smith.
Mr.. Smith, in simple protection
of his rights, wanted an understand

| which the earth that Will be used
| for the levee will be obtained. In
avoiding too many deep holes. he
wanted certain grade adhered to
