MANILA, Sept. 32.
A plan to raise several portions of the Manila north road from three to four feet is being studied by engineers of the bureau of pub lic works The purpose is to pre-. vent such portions from being in- undated so deeply se to impede motor vehicle traffic,
During the recent heavy rains, reports were received by the bureau about several portions being under. water from three to four feet deep. It was pointed out that by raising the elevation of the roads they would be protected to some extent from floods and traffic would not be paralyzed.j
A report received at the bureau yesterday indicated that the roads submerged in Bataan and Zambales during the week on account of motor vehicle traffle
The landslides which obstructed traffic on the road between Boutor and Ilocos Sur have been removed The Lazout ferry in Nueva Vizcaya has been repaired and reopened; The damage caused to public' works on the Manila"north road by the heavy rains in the last few days is reported to have been very slight
Antonio de las Ale, secretary of public works and communications, explained that be expected to re- ceive reports of heavy dams suffered by public works of the heavy rains and the resulting from them. ports received from dist gineers showed that only damage was done
