Anxious to Close Gaps Be

Spring Rise.
By the Associates Tress.
CHARLESTON. Mo.. March 13 —
United States Army engineers made
! preparations today to move machinery
into the Birds Point-New Madrid
floodway next week for the work of
rebuilding levees opened during the
recent Ohio-Mississippi River flood.
Lieut. Col. Eugene Reybold, district
engineer at Memphis, Tenn., said
survey parties had been working in
the 131.000-acre flood basin for several
days and draftsmen were busy com
pleting construction plans.
Anxious to Close Gaps.
Explaining the engineers were
anxious to close the levee gaps before
the Mississippi begins its usual Spring
rise. Col. Reybold said:
“There are many crevasses over a
70-mile territory which must be closed.
The engineers blew three crevasses
to allow the floodway to operate, but
the others were made by the pressure
of the flood waters.”

spillway, the first in the Nation to be
placed into operation, was opened
January 25 to relieve the pressure
of the swollen Ohio on the ‘'seawall’’
at Cairo. 111.
The rush of the Ohio-burdened
Mississippi into the basin swept away
or damaged 1,000 dwellings. The
Army engineers have let between
700 and 1,000 tents to be set up
where the waters have receded and
where the earth is sufficiently dry
for floodway refugees to return home.
"We are sending some families back
into the basin every day,” said Rev
A. B. Cooper, chairman of the Missis
sippi Red Cross. “It is a slow process,
slower than we had anticipated. The
water is moving out of the floodway
very slowly, and it will be more than
a month, probably, before the entire
basin is dry.
"Through the arrangement for
tents, it will be possible for most of
the farmers to get back to their homes,
prepare to plant their gardens and
make arrangements to start planting
crops.”
Among the difficulties confronting
the engineers and others helping to
rehabilitate the floodway area are
“blue holes”—large lakes—created by
the force of the flood waters. L. f.
Berthe, Army engineer, described one
of these holes as being a mile long,
a quarter-mile wide and 70 feet deep
in places.
“The hole.” Mr. Cooper added, "Is
almost big enough to hold the entire
city of Charleston.”
Some presons have suggested that
earthen walls, like levees, be built
around the larger holes, while others
have proposed the erection of fences
to keep live stock from falling into the
pits.
