to cover our pro-rata of allotment for
3rd Miss. River District, as called for
by Major Conner, Engineer in
charge of Vicksburg Office. The
balance of funds were left in State
Treasury to protect interest payment
on bonds and to cover final estimate
on BOurgere levee and general ex-
penses.
A further loan of $130,OOO.Oo, was

discussed with officials of Bank and
1t is my opinion we shall have no
trouble securing necessary funds to
meet our pro-rata of allotment,
$137, 10000, asked for by Major
Conner, Engineer in charge of 4tl
District, New Orleans Office. We
have officially advised Major Conner
that the Fifth La. Levee Board will
be in a position at t:le end of the
ninety day limit, to deposit above
amount to tie credit of Miss. River
Commission for disbursement by his
office.
l have inspected levees from Ar
kansas line to Lake Providence and
from Madison parish line to lower
end of Reid Biggs Levee, all of
which levee line is in good con-
dition.. l find a number of fences
across the levee, with no gates or
means of passing through, which
shows that inspection by riding on
top of levee has not been made re-
Gently. Would suggest that the Board
notify property owners who are using
the levee for pasture t:lat it is nee
essary for them TO provide suitable
openings in order that inspections
may be made freely without delay.
The levees generally are free from
weeds and thistles with exception of
Cabin-Teele Levee, which is badly
infested with thistles.
At Harrisfield, a serious condition

is rapidly developing. The bank has
caved within fifty feet of upper end
of new loop, and a short distance
above. has caved within one hundred
feet of the main line.
Am afraid a new levee will have to
be built before next high water, I'M
less we can induce the Government
to revet the banks along rlis front.
Major Conner, in Charge of the 4th
District Engineers, has furnished us
a short statement of expenditures
made by his office; while the data
it not as complete as l would have
desired, yet it gives US general idea
of where and at what cost levees are
being built by Government. You will
notice lower Kemp levee has been
completed. 51,483 cubic yards have
been moved at a cost of $23,855.8O
or 46.1-3 cents per cubic yard.
That $4,000 cubic yards have
been placed at Cottage Home, at a
cost of SO cents a cubic yard. Also
r..ere is a reserve of $240,0000O for
Cottage Home to complete the WORK
of placing 100000 cubic yards. The
report also shows $685., 10000, held
in reserve to cover 100000, yardage
contract at Arcola. Delhi, Vaucluse
and Pittsfield.
This represents total Of 81, o42,-
10000, of which the Fifth District
contributed 1-3 or $347,500.00.
Every where in the upper end OF
the district the levees are in such
a condition that in my opinion, In
spctors are not necessary ar present
and l would suggest rlat no ir-
spectors be employed and that no
decision at present be made upon
the method of inspection and caring
for levees.
Respectfully submitted,
