Concrete walls for the Missouri river project plan
Deputy Labor Commissioner John de Bradley outlines a plan to build massive concrete levees along the Missouri River to prevent floods and create a new state cement industry. The scheme would use convict labor, salvage lands redeemed from the river bed, and floating prisons for worker housing, with construction over four to five years and funded by selling bottom lands to the federal government. The proposal also includes a cement plant, riprap sections, and a merit-based labor system with eight hours for work, education, and recreation.
