Crews worked through the weekend to raise low spots on the dikes and to inspect potential weaknesses in the defence. City engineer W. D. Hurst said Sunday all dikes will be capable of containing a level of 26.5 feet above average ice level. At 2 a.m. the level of the Red was 21.8 feet � unchanged in 24 hours. Mr. Hurst said that if the Red reaches 23 feet, workers will raise the dikes with earth and sandbags to 30.5 feet. At 23 feet the river would affect to some extent 290 homes outside the main ring of dikes. Absence of rain and below-freezing temperatures overnight during the weekend reduced fears of serious flooding but Mr. Hurst said the river would remain a potential danger spot for a week or 10 days after reaching its peak. A government spokesman said Sunday no rain is forecast for at least 48 hours. Sunday, the crest of the Red moved into the St. Norbcrt area, seven miles south of the city, and further south the level began dropping slowly. The river is reported free of ice and flowing freely. A huge ice jam which caused flooding at Selkirk, 26 miles north of Winnipeg, passed the mouth of the Red into Lake Winnipeg during the weekend. In suburban St. Vital, the Seine River, which flows north and empties into the Red at Winnipeg, caused considerable, flooding as it reached its crest. Several St. Vital families were evacuated and water covered farms further downstream. The Assinibpine, which rises in Saskatchewan and flows east through Manitoba to join the Red at Winnipeg, was flooding Sunday behind an ice barrier at ileadinglcy, just west of Winnipeg. Further west, at Portage la Prairie where low-lying farms have been inundated, the level of the Assiuiboine dropped to VAt feet below the channel's capacity. The Whitemud River created a deep poo! Sunday at Westbourne, j 05 miles west of Winnipeg. The main street was reported under two feet of water. Link Between Bypass, Highway 16 Considered Department of highways survey crews arc investigating the possibility of linking the highway bypass system skirting the city to the south with the proposed Highway 16 route to McBride. The link between the bypass "system, presently under construction, and Highway 16 East would be made at the south end of the new Fraser River bridge, scheduled to be started this year. Plans call for the bypass system on the south side of the Fraser River to swing south from the new bridge and join with the Quesnel Highway, seven miles south of the city. The proposed link with Highway 16 would fork from this route at the top of the hill, then swing northeast to skirt the airport and join with proposed Highway 16. A department of highways crew is now doing a location survey to decide if the route is feasible, a department spokesman here said today. A report on the survey, along with plans, will be sent to the department of highways' chief engineer in Victoria for study.
