LEVEE PROJECT ON WHITE RIVER NEARING FINISH 1750 Employed on Job at Peak; Cost Put at $382,000. All construction work on the new levee and flood prevention project along White River between Collegeav and Kessler-blvd will be completed within the next few weeks, it was announced today by Harvey w. Cassady. flood prevention engineer in the city engineering department. About 500 men are adding finishing touches to the section of the levee In the Warfleigh district, but they will soon be moved to other projects, Mr. Cassady said. All construction on the project has been done by FERA workers under the supervision of the city engineering department. An average of 800 men have worked on the project daily since construction was begun in December, 1933. and at certain times as many as 1750 men have been employed. The new levee, on the south bank of the stream, is about one and one-half miles long, rises from 20 to 22 feet above the average height of the river. It is five and one-half feet higher and much thicker and stronger than the old levee which it replaces. It is two and onc-half feet higher than the record high j water mark of the famous 1913! flood which inundated the entire Broad Ripple and Warfleigh district.

Old Levee Battered Flood waters in 1927 came within 18 inches of the top of the old levTe and it had been weakened and endangered by many floods in other years. Another shorter embankment with a roadway along the top has been built on the north bank between N. Pennsylvania-st and U. S. 31. Besides the levees the project included the widening and straightening of the chan-el and the removal of high sand bars and accumulations of snags and other debris which had been deposited in the atream. Many persons living near the river have complained that men working on the project needlessly or heedlessly cut down many fine shade trees along the river bank, but Mr. Cassady insists that no trees were destroyed unless it was absolutely necessary. Area to Be Landscaped Some had to be removed, he said, because they stood in the way of the new levee—others because the ground at their bases constricted the channel. Most of these trees, he said, w-ere in bad condition and would have died naturally within a few years. Park Board employes have sown about three-fourths of the levee with grass seed and the remaining new'er section at Warfleigh probably will be sown next fall. Landscaping work along the entire length of the project will be done by the board. The total labor cost is expected to be slightly more than $382,000. All of this is paid by Federal relief funds. The cost to the city engineering department for tools, equipment and supervision was $13,008.70. A similar project along White ;

Miehigan-st to the mouth of Fall Creek, and up Fall Creek to Indiona-av will be completed about the same time as the Warfleigh project. Mr. Cassady said. A levee with a roadway along the top is in the finishing stages of construction and the channels of both the river and the creek have been widened, cleaned and straightened. More than 800 men are still at work on this project, although the weekly average of workers employed ranged between 1200 and 1500, according to Paul R. Hill, Marion County FERA pay roll clerk. The total labor cost will be $640,236, Mr. Hill said. A third flood prevention project on White River, between W. Morrisst and the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge north ox Oliver-av, was started last winter. More than 750 men are working there this w r eek and probably as many w'ill be employed at the completion of the work 4 upstream.
