lying directly behind Alsiers is peculiarly adapted to this scheme,

cutoff road, for instance, its funnel shape, and its gradual slope towards
the Gulf, nearby. He speaks of a spilway, locks, etc, and seems to connect
the project with the prospective river-bridge which is now taking definite
shape. As nearly as we cal judge, it is proposed, through the use OF a
government spilway, (abOve the city evidently TO sLacken the rivers cur
