To Build New Levee at Mccall.

The board of commissioners of the
Atehafalaya Levee District, having
jurisdiction over the levee at Mccall,
in the first ward, where the serious
cave occurred about three weeks ago,
viii begin in the near future the con-
struction of new8 levee to replace
the one destroyed by the slough
The engineers have staked out the
route of the new leVee, which will be
lat q considerable distance back of
the old, and will take up much VAL
uble land, and as soon as the public
road, which must also be rebuilt. has
been laid out and constructed, the
work of levee building will begin.
It is said that the new levee will pass
near the front Of the Mccall resi-
denee, so near in fact as to leave no
room for the road between the Ieyee
and the mansion, and that the road
will have to be routed back of the
building. The road will be rebuilt
at the expense of the levee board,
but the routing thereof must be done
by the police jury, The governing au-
thority of Road District No. / in
which this particular piece of road
is situated. The route viii very
probably be staked$ out early next
week and the work of grading and
surfacing begun at once. It is a
source of universal regret that the
magnificent grounds of the stately
Mccall property must be marred to
make room for new levee, which
under the circumstances, is absolute
