Washington Feb 16 AP The House flood control bill presented by the committee would place the entire project cost on the federal government at 473.6 million dollars and create the Mississippi valley flood control commission to oversee work, replacing the Mississippi river commission and removing authority from the chief of engineers. The plan differs from Jadwin and Coolidge by funding and structure, with no local state contributions and a new agency to manage the project.
