distance downstream, and the thorn
trees on the levee removed.
Repairs are urgently needed on the
Moss or China Grove leyee, where deep
gaps and other abuses exist. Similar
gaps and abuses on the Christiana
levee need treatment, and number Of
thorn trees should be cleared of the
levee, and the trees near the river toe
should be slashed back from Christiana
to Poole.
The Buckhorn levee is in good con-
dition. Thence to the lower end Of the
system, near Bear Point, was not in
spected on this occasion, but as it is
not subjected to caving, needs only the
usual maintenance.

old levee, with every indication that
this scant margin will be lost during
the next rise Of the river. In the mean
time. the construction Of the new leyee
mas intercepted the drainage from a
number OF acres of land just above its
upper end, and such measures as were
provided for in the contract to meet
this condition were estopped by the
property owners refusing to permit the
temporary removal Of fences In the
way, so the water is now standing
against the leyee and this condition is
manifestly unsatisfactory and unsafe,
and shold be remedfed.
A deep gap has been cut through the
levee opposite the residence and barn
on the Buckhall plantation. The party
responsible for this cut should be re-
quired to close it Immediately, or suf-
fer the penalty Of the law.
The Benoit Bayou dixie and Pandora
levee are still fenced as hog pastures
and are still being seriously rooted by
hogs. More repairs are necessary.
Along the upperside of Colquitt
Point, where caving continues slowly,
there is still sufficient margin for at
least one more year.
There is deep crossing at the lower
side Of Colquitt Point which needs
repairs.
A new levee is recommended at Mr..
G. T. Shaw's Cash place, where caving
has reached to within 13O feet of the
center of the levee near the upper end
of the new levee constructed there two
years ago, and known as the Palmer
place levee. The bank protection work
done last year by Mr.. Shaw at this
point not only failed to materially ar
rest the caving, but has itself been en-
tirely wrecked, leaving this point in
jeopardy.
II It meets with your approval, the
State will undertake the construction
of this leyee, provided your Board will
assume the cost Of rightofway, injury
to property and improvements.
Where the Palmer place leyee cross
ed the bed Of the old river the founda-
tion has continued to sink slightly
since the dixie was constructed, but, so
far, may still be depended upon with
out special attention.
From the Palmer place down to Bcs-
sier City the levee is apparently in
good condition, except for a pile OF
rotten cow manure at the base of the
levee in Bossier City, about a quarter
-of a mile al,eTe the v, S. and r Rail-
way bridge.

official Report of the
Existing Condition Of
BOssier Parish Levees

8 Following is an official report Of the
condition of the levees Of the Bossier
Leyee District as read before the meet
ineeof the Bossier Levee Board held in
Shreveport July 31st:
Is the Board of Commissioners Of the Bos-
der Leyee District, Shreveport, La.
4 Gentlemen: | have the honor to re-
port that on June 26th and q, 1922, I
made an inspection of the entire levee.
vystem in the Bossier Levee District,
except the extreme lower end. and that
Inter Capt. Frank M. Kerr, Chief State
Engineer, inspected with me the places
most affected by recent caving and
changes in the regimen of the river.
The following is report in detail OF
eonditions found, with summary, sug-
festi0ns, recommendations, etc.
Not much change has occurred oppo-
lite Hurricane Bluff, where caving has
reeched to within 24O feet OF the center
X the levee.
The Willow Chute and Stinson levees
are covered with weeds for about
mile and half, and are in need of
cleaning.
The new Cat Island levee Is also
largely oyergrown with weeds, and is
badly rain-washed for the greater part
Of Its length. 1t needs cleaning, repairs
md some re-grassing.
at the VIII Rushing place there is
suficient margin for the present, but
raring, which is progressing down
stream from above, promises trouble
there for the future.
The Gold Point levee has been fenc-
I'd and used as hog pasture, contrary
to law, and to the very great injury to
the leyee. This practice continues to be
quite general in the Bossier Levee Dis
trict, and unless promptly and prop
erly dealt with, will bring disaster to
the district
A new levee- has been completed at
Il safe distance back from the caving
banks along the Riverside and Buck
hall fronts, except that gaps have been
left both at the upper and lower ends
TO accommodate traffice, during low
stages Of the river, over the public
highway and the Cotton Belt Railway.
Efforts are still being made by the
railway company to arrest the cavfng
suficiently to save their present right
ofway, but considerable loss of bank
has been sustained, and at one place
there is n margin of only about 90 feet
hetween the bank and the center of the

STRIKE SITUATION

Tho strike situation does not ap-
pear to be any nearer settlement than
when it began. The Big Four brother
hoods have refused to accept any
terms of mediation, and the railroads
continue to refuse to make conces-
sions. The engineers and firemen
claim they are not striking out Of
sympathy, but because the rolling
stock Of the railroads is in too poor
condition to continue operation. They
also resent the employment of guards
to protect the non-union workmen.
The claim is that the government has
no right to interfere by armed force
with labor and capital argument.
The situation is very tense at Corbin,
and the country vii soon begin to
suffer if relief is not given the coal
fields.
