the old dike on the reservation

ervation dike but when interview
ed by a representative of the
Prospector the engineer officer
claims it would be of great ben
efit to the new government dike
if the old piling and planking re
mained and the city authorities
have therefor determined to al
low it lo remain.
The extonlion of the city dike
from the new government dike
to the point where the two lines
of embankment .join will also
remain mili 1 fall as il is a pro
led ion lo I lie work being done

mil safe until I he fascines are
placed in position, wired down
and weighted down with rock,

old city dike will lie kept in re
pair lo protect both the town
and. the government work.
