OF l1.3 fest above low water mark.
The sewer gates on the Eleventh
street, Nineteenth street and Fifth
avenue sewers. the only mediums
OF drainage for the west end dis
trict, have to be closed at 4 stage
OF 10 feet above low water mark.
With the closing Of these gates.
the entire flow Is thrown back on
the Fifth avenue sewer, and the
two electrically driven pumps at
the Fifth avenue station pump the
flow out of the sewer into the river
some fifteen feet above the nat
ural outlet Of the sewer.
Expect Higher Stage.
Commissioner Murrin said that
an even higher stage of the river
is expected. There Is a flood stage
at La Crosse, Wis. but before this
reaches this point it is believed
that the stage here will lower
somewhat. SO that the food stage
will not bring the stage here much
higher than it is at present.
However. the main element OF
danger to the west end district
rests with local storms. With the
sewer gates closed a big rain would
put the big pumps to their capacity
in handling the water.

by the recent flood stage OF the
river in the lower section Of the
district. The Sny levee is located
below Warsaw, ILL.,, and the Hunt

II is really a pitiful sight to see
