Local dyke project aims to curb flood damage near Irvine
In Irvine area C E Wilder is building a earth dyke along the Brokenstraw on former McKinney land to prevent a repeat of last spring's flood. Two steam shovels, once used on the Mathews Run road, lay the wall of earth as Wilder acquires surrounding land and hopes to shield flats and Irvine from flood harm.
