ahown In sections to the north and
south, the retaining wall, now un
der construction under tfie CWA
along the banks of Bear creek. Is ex
pected to do much toward prevent
ing the repetition of flood conditions
known here in 1927.
The fifty men at work on the pro
ject, which Is one of fifty-three un
der way In Jackson county, are also
changing the channel of the creek,
which will do still more toward In
suring safety here during .high wat
er levels.
The rock retaining wal), which
will also be an attractive addition
to the city, will be constructed from
Tenth to Jackson street on both
sides of the creek. The channel will
be widened for considerable distance
to prevent the break over, against
which constant, although minor ef
fort, has been exerted by Vie city
during the past six years.
In addition to Improving the looks
and safety of the Bear creek region,
the CWA workers will level the play
ground, adjacent to the creek, on
the east side, filling In the corner
for a rock garden and parkway.
All the Improvements are being
accomplished with hand labor with
exrepttnn of th trucking of rocks
to the scene of the project. They
are loaded and unloaded by hand,
keeping the fifty men at work. Picks
and shovels and shiny wheelbarrows.
synonymous with other times, when
the United States did not have mil
lions of unemployed, are much In
evidence on the grounds, and they
are all in motion.
While the men are receiving the
work and their pay in real money
every week, the city Is at the same
time realizing In a gift from the
government, as It were, Improve
ments which have long been
needed and for which municipal
funds would have in time been spent
if the CWA had not made them pos
sible during the present. AH money
expended on 1tie project is coming
from Washington, D. C, and most
of It Is going to hand laborers.
