The top Of the wall is used for Il walk.
To prevent wafer from the gulf
flowing behind the wall ana flooding
the city during severe storms. the
grade of n large portion of the city
was raised from 2 to II feet. This ne
cessitated the raising of about $500
buildings and the readjustment of
streets, sidewalks. street car tracks,
electric lights, water and gas pipes to
the new level.
The %illing-in material was taken
from the bay. The dredges, after

a canal behind the wall and discharged
their load through pipe lines leading
down the various streets. When the
work was completed the canal was
filled. The magnitude Of this UNDER
