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.

Storage of surplus water eyed to ease flood waste disposal
Earnest Boyce, chief engineer, urged storing surplus water to curb floods and dilute mineral wastes in Kansas valleys. He said ground water is scarce in Neosho Verdigis rivers regions, affecting domestic use, and stressed controlled releases to maintain stream flow for sewage and mineral waste dilution. He warned Oklahoma and Arkansas rely on Kansas drainage plans and called for unified flood and waste management.

State has huge lake near Cheyenne Bottoms lake plan
Topeka dispatch reports George A. Clark of Topeka praised Kansas Forestry Fish and Game commission work at a flood control and water conservation conference. Clark, filling in for J B Doze, noted the Cheyenne Bottoms lake near Tallgrass as nearly as large as the Sea of Galilee and supported by a Kansas delegation in Congress. He cited floods along the Mississippi as justification for impounding water to propagate fish and protect migratory fowl, calling the commission’s role a small spoke in the wheel of water conservation.
