APPROVE WORK
ON RIVER BANK.
Protective Structure Accept
ed BY Los Fresnos Dis
trict Directors

Bank production work on the Rio
Grande south Of the pump plant
of the Los Fresnos system was for
mally accepted by the district board
of directors Wednesday following
inspection Of the work. The last
of the protective work was complet-
ed Tuesday night.
Members of the board expressed
themselves as well satisfied with the
appliance designed by the Kellner
Jetties Co. of Kansas City for river
bank protection on streams like the
Rio Grande. approximately 1000
feet of bank is protected, and the
results of the work will be watched
with great interest by irrigation
districts and owners Of land along
the stream.
The protective device consists of
three steel members, each Is feet in
length, bottled together in saw
buck" form. The "sawbucks" are
spaced Is feet apart, all being
joined by steel members, cables and
wire. When structure was complet-
ed it was rolled to the top of the
bank. It's function is to retard
the current and permit deposit Of
sediment, gradually building up the
bank. District engineers state that
if it functions efficiently it will
solve the bank protection problem
for a number of Valley irrigation
districts as well as land owners
along the stream.
The structure was placed on the
Mexican side at a point where the
river was gradually eroding the
bank threatening to cut through
and leave the Los FreSnoS pump
plant half a mile from the stream.
Permission to place the protective
work at that point was secured from
the Mexican government in Deem
Der, and all materials were admit
ted to that country duty free and
without consular charges.
A number of Brownsville and
Matamoros engineers accompanied
the Los FresnoS directors on their
inspection trip.

complained that the new conduit and

CURED by the Potomac Edison Co. is
proving a costly hardship. Among the

exchange with Mayor Thomas W.
Koon, former Police and Fire Commits
sioner j. Alfred Reid, Thomas Ham,

The controversy was so warm that
Mayor Koon said that while he
would be glad to take the matter up
with the Potomac Edison Co.. he did
not want the council insulted and
slurred as being under this control Of
the electric company.
The new installation, which the pro-

costly, is said to prevent consumers
from Stealing electricity" which is
possible under the old system of wiring.
