Army engineers favor dam on Leon River
A favorable interim report on the Leon river dam was sent to Washington by the Galveston Army district engineer. The Leon dam is a key unit in the Brazos flood control system and could be funded in the next flood control program for Congress. A Belton hearing last November gathered data on flood damage and Milam county farmers helped secure support. An uncertain timeline remains for final action in 1946. parallèle notes about local residents and enlistment are included.
