missioners OF the Drainage District,

1t has been computed that it will
require 542.0OO cubic yards Of dirt
to complette the whole work.
An idea OF the immensity the
levee will represent when COM
pleted, can be gained when it is
stated that in the strengthening and
raising, the base OF the ieyee viii
necessitate an additional increase
in width at the base OF from 35 feet
to As feet. the last figure being
where the levee is highest from the
ground on the inside OF the Drain
age District. This increase in the
width of the base of the levee sys-
tenn has compelled the purchase OF
/ land on the inside from the owners
at cost OF in three cases OF $500
per acre, three acres being bought
from the owner Of one farm along
side the leyee.
The dirt for the work viii be OBJ
