Detroit Faces Massive Sewer Project to Curb Floods
Detroit leaders warn the city must finish a $55 million sewer expansion to prevent basement floods after heavy rain. Two trunk lines costing $14 million will start immediately, with completion planned for 1948 and 1949, and another $21 million by 1952 to upgrade the system. Mayor Jeffries and public works head Ernest Jones outline sanitation, street, school, and park plans to revitalize the city.
