Government, partly by the'abu`tting States, but chiefly oy the plantation owners adjacent to the river, who formed levee dis- tricts, with boards empowered to levy taxes for the work of construc- tion and maintenance. Within the main levees are often private levees constructed by plantation owners or by towns, and sometimes one will find places which resemble a fortress,
