Plans Submitted On Flood Control For Mississippi River

Washington reports that President Coolidge sent to Congress a U.S. Army Engineers flood control plan for the Mississippi Valley from Cairo to the Gulf. It calls for spillways above New Orleans and floodways in the Atchafalaya and Tensas basins, with channel widening, levee strengthening, and a major river stabilization effort costing about 256.4 million dollars over ten years, plus 112 million for mapping and stationing. The plan aims to limit flood water in main channels, use lateral spillways for excess, and improve navigation, reforestation, and erosion controls, with federal funding shared according to benefits.
