Wabash River proposals remain with the Army Corps of Engineers and may reach Congress next session. Kellum notes 30 projects were cut but Indiana’s Mississinewa works and Wabash Mississinewa junction sites survived review and testing. The President sent apologies to Senator Homer Capehart.

Indiana flood control plan would curb future damage says Kellum
Kellum and other officials discuss a flood control project in the Upper Wabash area. If approved by Eisenhower, Army engineers would draft detailed plans and funding would follow once complete. The three reservoirs could cost about 42.4 million dollars and protect Huntington to Lafayette area and towns along the Wabash watershed. Flood losses averaged seven million dollars in crops and cities over 20 to 30 years, with severe events in 1937 1943 and 1950 underscoring need.
