TO MARK POINTS REACHED BY FLOOD WATERS
All Land Owners to Mark Recent
High Water Marks to Aid IN
Reclamation Work.

Austin. TcX-AU land owners in
the overlooked areas are urged TO
mark the recent high water marks in
order that the reclamation work IN
PROSPECT may have valuable data Tor
practical use. This urgent request
was uttered Saturday by Arthur a
stiles. state reclamation engineer
who wants spikes used and accuracy
followed in marking the flood marks
on large green trees, tenant houses
or other permanent landmarks. Mr..
Stiles spoke of how valuable this data
would be i'm calculating levee loca-
/ tions and construction. Because OF
/ its intense value he wants every land
owner in the overlooked valleys to put
i'm permanent marks at once, before
the exact high water mark is forgot
ten. OF this he said Saturday:
UNLESS the height is marked with
in the nearest half inch the informa-
ton is of no consequence, as marks
biased on about here or about there
Iare of no value. 1t must be exact
The slope of the flood surface is Sc
comparatively small the smallest
variation in marking due to error
robs it of its greatest value.
These marks should range from
, one-half to one mile apart, and if pos
, sible be directly opposite each othel
> on each side of the river.
, when surveys are made designing
the levee system these marks will b.
of untold value to the engineers II
the intelligent working out OF levees
:, and that is why plead and urge wit
: land owners to mark the high waite
r. mark.
= The special attention of land owl
ers is called to this matter, and the
>. are urged to make these precis
= marks at once while the marks Q
water stains are still visible and ca
be identified without the slighteS
question.
The most practical method
marking is by means OF heavy ma
H. driven into large live trees. MARI
IL on tenant houses are also good, b'
X all marks must be accurate
