Levee Leverage March 11
Gravel roads and public highways suffered serious damage from the recent flood. Bridges are down, culverts washed out and the soil in many sections has changed residence. Real estate owners find that warrantee deeds are no good when water gets on a high-lonesome, and streams act like mountain torrents.
