Flood prevention push reports on Brady Creek watershed progress
Joe Ogden and Dick Winters visited Washington to urge upstream flood control and water conservation. They told the House Appropriations Committee that the Brady Creek watershed project with 46 small dams will have 8 completed soon and could add 16 more next fiscal year if funds permit. They noted Clear Creek in Brown County is ready for dam construction and Jim Ned in Coleman County is being engineered for a comprehensive project like Brady Creek. McCulloch's Deep Creek dams have tamed an 8 inch flood and attracted 211 groups from Texas this past year. The piece also notes a Farm Almanac from Ford and Library of Congress milestone, with Texans Hobart McDowell and R. A. Miller among visitors to the capital.
