That the rebuilding OF leyees along
the Mississippi river below New Or
leans Will cost over S1.O00,000 was the
statement made by Louis J. Hennes-
sey. representing the Association o.
Commerce. who returned from trip
of inspection with Major w. G. Caples
and other engineers Of the govern
ment and state The party went down
the river and back on the steamer

panying Major Caples were w. +. KnO-
block, superintendent of the district
for the United States engineers; r.
W. Buerr, of the government service;

roll State Engineers John Klorer, Col
onel Thomas J. Lewis, U. S. A. and
Captain Edwards, commandant at
Jackson Barracks.
Captain Edwards object in going
was TO inspect Forts Jackson and st
Phillip. which he found were not very
much damaged by the storm, though
some water got into the magazine at
Fort st. Philip.
The engineers. Mr.. Hennessey stat
ed examined che levees carefully and,
though they declined to make any
statement of the result at the present
time pending an official report. it was
calculated from the inspection that
the cost of restoring levees on the
right bank of the river will be about
$500, 900 and on the left bank $780,
000 Doubtless temporary repairs
might be made for much less. but it
will require that amount to put the
levees in good condition to protect the
lands along the rive. The work, too.
must be started Immediately to get
the levees in shape before the high
water of next spring. which may begin
as early as February. 1t will require
about six months to complete It, The
importance Of getting the money for
the work, Mr.. Henessey stated, cannot
be overestimated.
