Ieeing Levee Board Failed

board of levee commissioners for the

The act under which the bill has

levee district, for the term of two
years next ensuing from and after
March 9, 1922: Maj. T. J. Dabney, con
sulting engineer, at a yearly salary o.
$4,000; B. R. Bagley, general superin
tendent of maintenance, at a salary o.
$2,400 a year; Lee Trimble, foreman o.
maintenance, at a salary of 81 1880
year; c. S. Longino, as paymaster, a
a salary of $1,000.
Complainants further allege tina
they would show to the court that the
defendants, acting in their capacity a.
members Of the levee board, did dur
ing the month Of April enter into Ger
tain contracts for work in connection
with the alteration, maintenance or re
pair of certain Of the levees of tn,
Yazoo-Mississippi delta levee distric
and purchased, or contracted 10 pur
chase, materials in excess Of $500 IL
value without having first advertised
the work by inserting a notice OF thu
letting OF said work by contract a
least once each week for three consec
utive weeks in a newspaper OF genera
circulation published in the domicil'
of the board of levee commissioners
nor a newspaper Of general publication
