floods from the River Rhine and the

Haarlem. Amsterdam and even
Utrecht, and keeping the necessary
dlkes and sluices In order became a
heavy burden In labor and expense. 1t
was into these waters that 300 of the
citizens Of HARLEM we're thrown, tied
back to back, in the butchery by the
Spanlards that took place after Its
siege and capitulation in the winter OF
1928.

Draining this large tract of land was
so great a feat Of engineering tina,
though 1t was suggested by Dutch
man called Leeghwater as early as the
seventeenth century, 1t was not under
taken till after 1886, when a more
than usually violent storm had caused
great destruction OF property from
foods. Even then the scheme was mo-
