The Mis- sissippi River Commission now has this enlargement work in charge and has given assurances both to Con- gress and levee authorities that this work will be hastened.
 Contractor Bearance uses machines entirely in the construction work and will be under a. $T5O0O bond for the immediate inauguration and speedy completition of this work, which will benefit Chicet, Desba and the eastern parts of Drew and Ashley counties and II parishes in northeastern Louis jana
