Important Convention At New Orleans On Levee Control
An Inter state Mississippi River Improvement and Levee Association convention will convene in New Orleans on October 27. Prominent advocates argue for national government control of levees to reclaim 20,000,000 acres of vast swamp lands across Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas, promising greater cotton output and federal funding for education rather than levee maintenance. Delegates from thirty states are expected with railfare for the trip, and plans include tours of sugar and cotton plantations and levee inspections.
