S. Engineers Department, but is approved and actually is being assisted by the said Departure nt; and, i WHEREAS, if this change in the course of the Mississippi 8iver ie brought about, there will be no way to stabilize the shoreline and determine a regular channel; and, ~fiEREAS, s channel which shifts first to one direction then to another always brings about the constant shifting of tow heads, which are a menace to navigation and which will render it particu- larly difficult and hazardous for a pilot to maneuver his tow to clear a bridge in north Memphis without losing control of his tow to clear the Harahan and Frisco Bridges; and, WHEREAS the building of a new bridge immediately south of the Frisco ridge, at a point in line with the present viaduct on the Arkansas aide, is the most practical location from a navigation standpoint; and the most logical location from an economic stand- point because it will not entail the expense of building a new approach or viaduct; PQOW, THERF;FORE, BE IT RESOhV~'', by the Council of the City of Weat Memphis, Arkansas in special session assembled pursuant to the call of Mayor ~fm.
