To Close Gap.

The following Interesting r1mwlat-
cation has 5ast been received tsa@
County Judge Harry +. eaaz
Lake Village. Ark. May PR. l,'a.
President " Whe.5. wao has jas, re-
turned from New Orleans telephones
a message Of glad taings and happy as
surances for this section of Arkansas
and northeast Louisiana. At the l5int
meeting Of the Leyee Boards OF Arhau-
sas and Louisiana the contract was let
for closing the gap at Cypress Creek.
through which these sections are nun
dated every high water regardless of
the fact that all constructed levees
might hold as adamant The contract
was let under the direct supervision of
the Louisiana State of Engineers at
New Orleans and awarded to Contractor
Bearance. who IL now operating in the
State of Washington The contract
price was 234 cents per cubic yard,
well within the estimated figures.
The length of new levee will
be little more than 1900 feet 1t will
contain more than 500, GOO cubic yards
of earth and will cost approximately
$3.50, 900 90. or about $50 10000 less
than was expected The new levee
will be completed to the high banks on
both sides of Cypress Creek during
the present year and will be finally
closed just as soon az local drainage in
Desha County, now under progress,
can be completed and the Ievees along
the Arkansas River strengthened to
grade 80 as to withstand the increased
strain The Mississippi River Com
mission now has this enlargement work
in charge and has given assurances both
to Congress and interested levee
authorities that this work will be
fastened with all advisable despatch.
Contractor Bearance uses machines
entirely in the construction work and
will be under a SIS, 600 90 bond for the
immediate inauguration and speedy
completion of this essential piece of
work.
The Dermott news. (Dermott, Ark.) 1910-1977, 1916-05-25

It is needless to announce that this
news will lend new spirit and renewed
activity to all projects in Chicot, Desha
and the eastern parts Of Drew and Ash
ley Counties and eleven Parishes in
northeastern louisiana
The entire work viii lie under the
direct supervision and final authority
Of the Mississippi River Commission.
The local levee boards vii. bear the
cost Of construction jointly. Appro-
Driations have already been made and
financial arrangements consummated.
