In a letter to the editor, Matheson disputes Williams claims that the Nillahcoottweir would prevent flood damage. He argues the Broken River catchment is heavily silted, floods have long flowed above the proposed site, and that rainfall in the district would overwhelm any wall. He invokes Lincoln and quotes Mr. Williams, asserting the House of Cards analogy.
