Engineers to Make New Study Of Levee Project As the result of a somewhat stormy hearing Saturday at Hillsdale, over the building of a new lu-mile levee along Rock river near there, the Rock Island district army engineers announced today that they will make a new study of the feasibility of build ing tcree drainage outlets for each of the areas concerned rather than one main outlet as originally proposed.

When the study Is completed. the engineers will re-submit their plan to the areas concerned. stating whether it is feasible and economical to build the three drainage outlets rather than one. The purpose of the hearing, which attracted about 150 persons, was a step on the part of the engineers to build a levee along the left bank of Rock river there, so that the lowlands will not be flooded every spring. The hearing was proposed by congress at the engineers' suggestion and if all parties finally come to an agreement, a total of $109,000 will be spent to build the 10-mile levee out of flood control funds.

Four different areas were represented at the meeting. They were as follows: Drainage district No. Rock River drainage district an unincorporated area, all along the left bank and a group of farmers residing on the right bank, who claim that by the building of the levee, the river will flood their lands. The engineers said, however that the levee will only raise the highwater level two-tenths of a foot. After a number of individual arguments pro and con, the three areas on the left bank got together and announced that first of all, they desired the levee to be built and secondly that each of three areas be given an individual outlet for drainage water.

This resulted in the decision by the engineers announced above. Col. E. E. Gesler, district engineer, presided at the hearing.

Other engineer representatives were Capt. Henry Berbert, head of the construction section at the Clock Tower, and J. W. Dixon, head of the hydraulics section. Two more similar hearings under the flood control act will be held this week by the district engineers.

The first of these will be held at Monticello, Tuesday and the second at Shelbyville, Wednesday. Col. Gesler, H. G. McCormick and Mr Dixon will attend these meetings.
