CITY ENGINEER
HAS LOCATED A
LOT OF TROUBLE
IN LETTER TO THE BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS Mr.. THORN
TON GIVES ALARMING REPORT
OF STREETS CONDITION.

Writing to the board Of city com
missioners yesterday afternoon, city
Engineer L. Earle Thornton pointed
out what he pronounced an alarming
situation on DeNilliers street, near
the Garden street intersection. The
engineer stated that a cavern was not
to be unexpected at almost any time
He recommended that immediate
steps be taken to make repairs to the
place, which right now has reached
the dangerous stage, as the cavern
Is likely This would entail not only
an element of danger, but an enormous
expense, and the engineer recommen-
ded attention right away.
The letter was the first communi-
cation read at the weekly meeting or
the board yesterday afternoon, and It
was sidetracked for discussion and &C
ton later After the meeting, it was
discussed Informally and the engineer
was authorized to prepare an estI-
mate of the cost of repairs, and later
the city will advertise for bids for the
work. 1t is likely that three entire
blocks will have to be worked, the
sewerage for that distance ripped up
and replaced, which will also mean
the tearing out and removal Of the
brick pavement for that entire stretch.
While no estimate was arrived at
definitely regarding the cost of re-
pairs, ii was stated during the dis
cussfon that it would probably entail
an expenditure of $4,000 before sat
isfactory conditions could be establish
ed there.
This sewer and street has been Civ
ing the city trouble ever since the city
accepted the system, and at various
points the sewer has been worked on.
It was stated that large pieces of the
pipe had been broken in the past, and
that the danger Of a lot of trouble
in the future continues TO grow
alarmtngly.

DECREASE COTTON ACREAGE.

Little Rock, Oct 12.-Active work was commenced this week by the ex- ecutive committee having in hand the work of decreasing the cotton acreage in 1915 in order to secure better prices for the cotton of 1914. At the same time the bankers of Ar kansas have agreed to participate in he cotton pool to the extent of about $500, 900, of which $500 has been pledged by the Little Rock bankers.
 The first work in the field is the visiting of the farmers by representa- tives of the agricultural colleges, for the purpose of getting them to plant heavily of fall oats and wheat, vetch and other crops Should the war be terminated by spring, these crops will not interfere with the planting of cotton, if the farmers are released from their pledges not to plant it.
