The committees opinion. the report
says. is that S3.OOO.OOO annually should

600 annually for levee construction. To
this total the committee adds $1,000

The report says that one of the
lower river problems for many years
has been presented by the Atchafalaya
outlet. and that by divOrCing it from
the Mississippi river approximately
100000 acres can be protected from
the Mississippi river floods, but that
this will neCessirate increasing the
grade and section Of the levees along
the Mississippi below that outlet, and
thereby put an additional burden
upon the levee districts affected. New
Orleans always has vigorously pro-
tested against this procedure as the
flood heights there would probably be
elevated two feet by the closure OF
the Atchafalaya outlet.
The report points out that since
1882 the states and lower river levee
boards have contributed 100000 900 for
levee construction.

The defense attempted to prove
an alibi for Anich. Several wit

cheaper than beef and quite as
nutritious; though slightly differ
ent in taste and of somewhat
coarser fiber, it is as digestible
as beef; that the horse is less
liable to suffer from tuberculosis
than is the COW, and that the
horse is more discriminating in
Its eating and drinking than is the
COW.
Arguments, from various
sources, against horse meat as
food for human beings are that
the flesh is darker, tougher and
less palatable than COW meat;
that inspection to insure good
meat would be difficult to estab-
fish; that young, healthy horses
whose meat might be good to eat
are worth twice as much as cat
tie; that only crippled, ailing,
aged or broken down horses are
apt to be put on the food market,
and that, finally, the public won't
overcome its prejudice against
horse meat anyhow.
