Charging Peril To
Health Asks
Relief From Ditch

Charging that the Sewer and Water
board and the Health board have
failed to give them relief from an
open ditch nuisance. property owners
in the lower section of Algiers, in the
vicinity of Behrman avenue, Numa,
Nelson and Newton streets, Tuesday
filed a petition with commission coun'
Gil asking that steps be taken to
abate the nuisance.
The petition recites that sewerage
is permitted to flow through an open
ditch on Newton street from the Naval
Barracks towards the woods. The
open ditch, the petition declares, is
menace to health and comfort of til,
residents of that vicinity.
The Sewerage and Water Board, i
is claimed, was asked to extend tn
sewer main to take care of the sewer
age from the barracks, the Adolpl
! Meyer School, and residences below
! the Algiers viaduct, but failed to act
The petition recites that the cit
health board was appealed to but gave

O'COnnor Raped For
Pressing Dry Dock
Leasing Bill

Vigorous protests are being filed by
private ship repair companies at
North Atlantic ports to the action of
the House last Friday in passing the
bill authorizing the Secretary of the
Navy to lease the floating dry dock
at the New Orleans Naval Station.
II is declared that Representative
OCOnnor, in whose district the dock
IS located, SO Unanswered the legis-
lation that it was brought before the
House at time when certain repre-
sentatives from North Atlantic ports.
who were familiar with the situation,
were out of the chamber. Had they
been present they would have blocked
the passage of the bill.
The opposition to the legislation Is
based on the contention that such a
lease is unfair to private ship repair
yards, in that it makes available TO
a competitor at a nominal sum an
expensive piece of equipment.
Representative O'COnnor admits
/ that this bill was reported favorably
/ by the naval affairs committee as a
result of his insistenle, and that he
/ did not call the attention of the
/ House to the fact that the opponens
of the measure were not in attend
ance. He believes that the lease will
result in the repair at New Orleans
of many of the larger ships which
formerly were repaired at North At
lantic ports.
In addition. he believes there is
danger that the dry dock will be
taken elsewhere unless it is put tC
use. AS long as the dry dock remains
at New Orleans he believes the
chances for securing the reopening OF
the naval station are much greater

LAYTON WRITES ON
RIVER SPILLWAY

General Lansing II. Beach and Presi-
dent and members Safe River
Committee. New Orleans, La.
Gentlemen:
II is my thought as a layman, that
the merits or dement's OF the spill
way, should not be determined by the
TACT as to whether its primary high
water effect would be a shOaling
CT deepening either below or above
such outlet, but rather as TO whether
the unaided river would not subse-
quently restore the normal, channel
conditions after the rivers recession
below the spillway's point OF intake,
which. in the instant case. would
be- az Elevation 10 on the Canal Street
guage.
On this phase, Major J. y. Ocker-
son. in his paper opposing outlets for
reducing flood heights, quotes the
late Major b. NJ. Harrod as saying
that, where Crevasse has resulted
in Il loss OF section, the closing OF
the outlet has restored it,"
Major Harrod was referring to
breaks occurring on river stages
equivalent To 16 or under. on the
Canal Street guage, and he cited sew
eral OF the large crevasses both in
, Mississippi and Louisiana, where
surveys had been made both before
and after said breaks, with the re-
suit mentioned.
! Major Ockcrson himself. says in his
, paper. that the depleted section OF
, the channel below the point of diver
; sion, is restored by a return to the
2 volume existing before the diversion.
2 The volume" here referred TO. was
2 no doubt also that contained by 16
[ foot river, since this was about the
S high water mark in the SOS when
these crevasses occurred.
l. If, therefore, the closing of crevasseS
l. on 16 foot river in the SOS, re-
t suited in the securing of the deposits
q caused by the carrying of the levees
I, down to or below the surface of the
|. adjacent land and the consequent
4 diversion of the rivers water to the
s. extent OF such opening, ii would seem
d as though in 1922 or thereafter, the
ID same volume" below the proposed
IL spillways sill, would have the same
X effect, particularly since in the 1872:
O. case, not a cubic yard of the levet
OF or the bank would have contributed
to the "shoaling."
At all events, since it seems to h
conceded by the Engineer that 9Th
restoration of the original volume" c
l., a l6 foot Mississippi, has resulted /
- the clean sweeping of its bottom 6
least in the vicinity of the crevass
=" sites, why not the 16 foot spillway
A' But, it will be objected, the
foot Mississippi of 1922. carrying q
Oh it does. the vastly greater silt col
ny tent then did the 16 foot river {
De the SOS. may result in such a shoa
IT'S ing at this spillway, as its 16 foo
