The contract to cut the Gold Point
spur levee was awarded to Mr.. w. G.
Burt, Of this place. who began work at
the site Friday morning of last week.
BY some hour Saturday. through the
use Of mules and scrapers, the cut had
reached depth on a level with the
water, but at that depth It's bottom
had gotten so boggy that mules could
no longer be used. Charges of dynamite
made the matter worse, as quickslnd
began to rise through the holes blasted
out. A dredge boat is now being made
use of In an effort to wash out and
deepen the cut. However, the waters
of the river continue to recede- dating
back for more than week-which has
continually proved unfovorable to the
accomplishment Of the undertaking.
The expense of the work is being
horne by the CaddO Levee Board, which
body has also agreed to give the Bossier
Levee Board a bonus Of $75.OOO-but
