other than 10 direct me TO make an

For the 81 Franeisyille levee about = ooo
For the Railroad ievee about ...... e. 000
For the Hayou SARA levee about 90 600

that the Railroad is under obligation

does. and presumably 81 Franelsyille

Logan is able TO thus provide for one

the Mississippi River Commission will
make an allotment even II the Mayer
can raise the 2.00O, and untIl al allot
