BID ON FLOOD
JOB SLASHED
BY 100000
Contractors Make Offer Far
Below Estimate Given
by Engineer.
INVOLVES BIG PROJECT.
Morris to Raymond st. Unit
One of Main Parts in
Prevention Plan.

The low bid upon the Morris to
Raymond st. unit OF flood pre-
vention improvements, received by
the board of works today, was $685.
900 below the engineers estimate.
The unit is one of the most irn-
portant in the flood prevention pro-
gram, begun in 1918 and not ex-
pected to be completed for another
decade.
The city engineering department
estimated months ago that the work
would cost $700,640. The low bid
submitted today by @. E. Jefferson,
Indianapolis, was $497, ,S9005.
The highest bid, $675, ,390.30, was
submitted by ]. c. Conner and Son,
Ft. Wayne.
Is Big Project
The work includes a sixty-five-foot
concrete covered levee on the east
side of the river from Morris to
Raymond Sts., with a thirty-foot
gravel roadway on top, and the
widening and Strengthening Of the
channel, involving dredging of about
l,250,000 cubic yards of dirt.
The board referred the bids to
the engineering department. A re-
port is expected next week.
Flood prevention was begun in
1915, the first step, the concrete
wall on the west side of the river
from the Belt Railroad TO Four
teenth st., being completed at cost
Of about $650,000, in 1917.
Bridge Is Heightened
Second step was lengthening Of
Washington st. bridge and widen
ing OF the river channel, costing
$l50,000. Short retaining walls were
built in both directions from the
bridge in 1017-l8.
The $4,000 retaining wall from
Illinois st. to Talbot Ave-, along
Fall Creek was constructed,
The fourth major step was COM
pleted in 1925. This was widening
and Strengthening of the river from
Morris to Washington Sts. involv-
ing the retaining wall on the east
side, the new $468,000 Oliver Ava
bridge, and the new $685. Ken
lucky Ave. bridge.
Lengthening of five railroad
bridges to conform to the new
channel in this district is held up
by litigation over division OF costs.
City council is holding up a bond
issue for lengthening Of the Morris
st. bridge.
After these steps are completed,
the city will go back to Washington
st. and build levees and roadways
along the east side of the river to
the Emrichsville dam.
Will Widen Fall Creek
Then Fall Greek will be widened
and Strengthened from its mouth 20
Northwestern Ave-, involving length
ening Of several bridges and the
water company's canal aqueduct.
This will take many years, be-
cause the city must raise the
money piecemeal, to keep within
bonding and taxing limits.
