Sb for a century the build- ing of levees has gone on until now carthworks have been thrown up against the spring invasion of the waters all’ the way from- Cairo to the delta, g distance of about 1,500 miles. ’ The levees .have been partly built by the Federal. Government, partly by the'abu`tting States, but chiefly oy the plantation owners adjacent to the river, who formed levee dis- tricts, with boards empowered to levy taxes for the work of construc- tion and maintenance. Within the main levees are often private levees constructed by plantation owners or by towns, and sometimes one will find places which resemble a fortress, wit series of earthworks _ ol the Mississippi levees by reason at the fact that the work has been done by so many dillerent interests un-d paid for out of so rruany dillerent funds.
