PRESIDENTS REPORT.

Tallulah, La, Jan. 10, 1917.
To the Honorable Board of Commits
sioners, Fifth Louisiana Levee Dis
trict-
Gentlemen: | beg to submit the
following reportof condition of levees,
etc., in the district:
Beginning at the upper end of the
district in East Carroll parish, gov
eminent contract at Opossum Point,
is covered by three outfits, enlarging
and making good progress. The lower
Cottonwood enlargement has just
been finished. The upper portion of
Cottonwood bank has given us con-
siderable concern, owing to caving Of
about 30 feet in six days, from Dec.
9TH to 14th. visited Major Slattery,
of the U. 8. Engineers Office, hoping
to prevail upon him to put in some
revetment at this point. Messrs. Todd
and Tellinger came over and made an
examination of the bank with me, and
decided that the caving was caused by
low river stage and would not break
this season. Very little caving has
occurred since Dec. oath, and we still
have about 1888 feet from center of le-
wee to bank.
Hollybrook repair and topping has
been finished. Salem enlargement
under contract by Messrs. Roach and
Stansel, has made good progress;
twenty five wagons and two tractors
loading. The present rise in the river
put them out of business; so compile
ton of this work will he delayed.
Atherton enlargement under con-
tract by Hercules Construction Co.,
has made slow progress, and they
have failed to keep all promises made
to increase their forces. They only
have one machine and one team out
fit on the work, and at present rate of
progress cannot finish on time.
The Henderson loop has caused con-
siderable uneasiness owing to caving
banks but think we have the situa-
ton we'll in hand. The CONTRACTOR,
Mr.. R. T. Clark, has large force Of
al teams at work, and will move on
another outfit in few days. Gazing
at this point has stopped since the
rise in the river began, and 1 hardly
think it will break before the present
rise i'm the river recedes.

MADISON PARISH.

Lower Cabin Teele to parta is
about completed. Reed Biggs slides
and enlargement was completed about
sixty days ago and revetment has
been placed to render it absolutely
safe.
Roundaway Bayou levee lie being
enlarged by the U. 8. government snd
I think win be finished by March 1st.
TENSAS PARISH.
o. A. Gibson's outfit of "a teams Is
moving on the Ashwood repair work.
Clagette levee has been finished.
Bayou enlargement is nearly COM
pleted. Harper's ramp repair has
been finished.
F. T. Constant has moved q small
outfit on the Kemp levee repair.
CONCORDIA PARISH.
Arnaudlia levee repair is under con-
tract by the Forest Construction Co.,
and work should begin this week.
huCCEud AOuuOTO AOOP, uuuCT COu-
tract by Forest Construction Co., is
making fair progress and will finish
on time.
Deer Park Loop Is covered by go
teams and making fine progress. Ash
ly Loop will be completed on contract
time.
Bouger's slide has been completed
and topping will soon be finished.
Withlachoochie slide, q small outfit
has gone on it and will be completed
on time, il the river permits. The
contractors on all loops protecting
caving banks have been instructed to
increase their forces, II caving should
begin again.
I find that caving has stopped at all
points in the district, but we fear at
some points q rising river may start it
again.
Respectfully submitted,

President Board of Commissioners,
