of snags, tree trunks and other OBJ
struetions that are a menace to the
adjacent farm lands in time of high
water is progressing rapidly under the
supervision of Morris Jenkins, VINO
has charge of the work for the drain
age board. He has gang of men,
teams of horses and all the proper
equipment for removing the drift to
the banks, where it is burned, thus
preventing the danger of its being
washed back into the channel in fu-
ture freshets. Beginning where the
creek enters the drama ge district, in
addition to clearing the channel, Mr..
Jenkins has orders to destroy any
trees or limbs overhanging the creek,
that might be washed in or broken
off, and cause the driftwood dams
that have occasioned so much trouble
in the past. Thus cleared, the creek
channel can take care of a large vol
une of water.
