ASKS MILLION TO
PREVENT FLOODS
Chase Says Battle Greek Is In
Serious Danger of Disas-
trous Overflow

BATTLE CREEK. Mich, March IL.
-(Special.)-An expenditure OF $l'
100000 to protect the city OF Battle
Greek from disastrous foods which
might do damage as great as those
which swept Ohio and Indiana cities
a year ago. was urged here today by
Arthur r. Chase, former drain com
missioner and county surveyor who
declared that conditions are ripe for
a food of serious proportions. Chase
recently completed study or hoods
and their prevention and his state
ment was made following an exhaus'
tive investigation OF local topography
and the clogging Of the Battle Creek
and Kalamazoo rivers, which now
through the center Of the city.
This city IL situated at the juno
ton Of the Battle Creek and kalama'
roo rivers" Chase said. "and lies In
a depression of the earth's surface
from so to 60 feet lower than the sur
rounding territory. The surplus wa
ters from an area Of approximately
1000 square miles md outlet to the
lakes through Battle Greek. Despite
this fact, Battle Creek has not spent
q single dollar on flood protection
Two disastrous floods already have
swept through the city In the past
dozen years causing damage conserva
lively estimated ut 100000. As
matter Of fact, the city has permitted
the throwing Of debris a. the driving
Of piles into the streams which have
seriously clogged them and condi
lions are steadily growing worse In
stead Of better"
The two most serious floods in Bat
tie Creeks history occurred In 1907
and 1904, the last one causing the
heaviest damage. For several days
| the city was isolated from the rest Of
the state, and the Michigan Central
and Grand Trunk railroads, with
tracks inundated and roadbed washed
away, were forced to abandon ser
vice. The Easements Of all stores In
the downtown business district were
flooded, and on several streets the
water flowed through the ground
floors Of the stores. Factory district,
were cut on from the rest OF the
town and thousands Of men were un
able to get to work
Chase and other experts declare
that under like conditions, the city
would suffer even more today than IN
| 1904.

TART INSPECTIONS OF

While the ofncial inspection Of

the end q the week. there was I'M
usual activity today aboard the vari
Gus vessels tide up at the Detroit
river docks a. preparations were
started for the opening Of the 1914
season early next month. On the
large fleet Of passenger boats here.
workingmen are busy making the
usual spring repairs and renewals.
II was impossible today to learn
tho exact date on which the nrst OF
the local boats will 60 out, but wealth.
er and Ice conditions have Influenced
many owners to nx the nrst week In
April % tentative time for the state
Of operations.
United States inspectors Of steam
vessels and their assistants here have
made preparations to rush the work
OF inspection 70 an early completion.
The regulations Of the steamboat In.
spection service provide that the
hulls, boilers and equipment OF all
vessels shall undergo thorough In
spection before the vessels are per-
mitted to sail. Three reinspections
during the summer are also required.
The annual inspection and testing OF
live preservers on the vessels has
been under way for several weeks
and Is still unfinished. There are
more than $4,000 live preservers on
vessels here which must undergo In
spection.
Because OF the fact that there Ia .
large feet of outside boats laid MP In
the Detroit river this year, the work
OF the local inspectors will be even
heavier than usual. Each OF the out
side vessels must submit to thorough
inspection before Il sails for Its home
port.
Many OF the fne passenger boats
are being redecorated and refurnished
In preparation for the summer runs.

FOR THE FIRST TIME.


For the first time in its..history re-
ceipts taken in by the court OF Topeka
during the year exceeded its expendi-
lures. The court deposited 5000
with the county treasurer: its expenses
were $4,000. A total Of 1,452 cases
were filed in twelve months. Record
Of a successful year was compiled in
the annual report issued today by A.
C. Bartel. clerk Of the court Of To-
peka.
Despite the proverbial unluckiness
Of the number, 1913 was the biggest
year ever recorded in the city court.
Exactly 100 civil cases were heard !:
372. criminal cases were tried. The
majority Of the cases were burglary.
larceny, assault and battery and wife
desertion. Several felony liquor cases
were heard.
The court Of Topeka. is one of the
busiest and most interesting places in
the courthouse Its offices on the
third floor are sthronged with a con-
tinual stream Of lawbreakers and Of
ficers. Judge Robert Carver con-
ducts all preliminary hearings before
prisoners at the county Jail are ac-
quilted or bound over to the district
court.
In 1912 the county was obliged to
contribute to the operation of the
court. Only 1.103 cases were filed
during the entire year.
