In the al>-

, top of levee may be and as to what
may be decided on in relation to the
mouth of the Brazos, it may he well
to add 10 per cent to the gross cost,
or $2,000,000. to cover errors in ap-
proximation
A high figure? Yes. but it would
more than double the acreage in land
relieved. I would say that the dan-
ger zones, when the two stream ere
in flood In conjunction with one an-
other. will be 55 miles wide from
the gulf to SO miles inland Then.
■ too .each stream takes its ow n in-
dividual toll of from four to 15 miles
for an additional 200 miles on ths
, Brazos and 100 on the Colorado--a
matter of 4,000.000 acres, which Is
surely worth $5 per acre, or the en-
tire coat of the protect. Further-
more, you are redeeming an empire
; by proving up on the overflow land
in question and removing the stain

What are the results and returns?
Four million acres that will have an
immediate increase in value of from
