have been the prey of the elements.
Most of the disasters are crdited to
the river. Ice flows, high tides
blockades, have ell had the blame at
tached TO them.
But. within a week. two overflows
have occurred, each caused by the
back watering of Shockoe Creek.
None of the damage can be at
tributed to the river.
Why is this? Because Shockoe Creek
has not received the attention that
certain members of Council desired.
Commissioner Beck, an engineer
himself. said last night that the work
should be begun at once. Engineers
are now at work on the plans. The
plans will be submitted to the Admin
istrative Board. That board will take
as many necessary steps as they can
to prevent recurrence of the disasters
which have already taken place.
Alderman Workman said last night
that he believed something should be
done along this line. He is a member
OF the Finance Committee. The resolu-
ton to be offered by Mr.. Powers will
be referred to the Finance Commit
tee. with the request that it be acted
upon at once.

Street merchant last night. I'VE have

alton. We will get together and dis
cuss the matter and appoint a COM
mittee to wait upon upon City Coun-
Gil and the Administrative Board We
hope that something will be done. -
In the meantime, Alderman Powers
has framed his resolution, and will
present 1t to the Board on Tuesday
night. He stands ready to ask for a
special session of Council to act upon
the emergency measure.
