There is often valuable merchandise on the quays and in the sheds, the flooding of which by the river might cause loss, which in some cases would amount to several millions of dollars. This condition cannot be ignored, and therefore the elevation of the shed floor should be above the highest known flood stage by from two to three feet. If the maximum flood stage is 53 feet, then the quay level elevation may be 56 feet. These floods indicate their coming far up the river among the hills. At the ...important river port towns there is generally at least one or two days notice that the flood waters are « on the way ». From this it has been urged that there will be sufficient time to remove freight to a place of safety Before the high water reaches the citv. However, from losses that have occurred, this does not seem to work out well in practice, although in most of the newspapers of these river cities there are published daily the river elevations at the various cities along the river, so much importance has been given to the rise and fall of the rivers.
