State Engineer Favored for Key Mississippi River Post
Harry Jacobs of New Orleans, the state engineer, is backed for a Mississippi River commission seat to succeed the late George H. West. The Tensas Basin Levee board chair says all state levee boards and Louisiana lawmakers support him. Chambers of commerce also back Jacobs, who has 17 years in government service and four as chief engineer, with flood control plans likely to include his ideas. Nine Arkansas camp sites have been secured to build river road bases, with more camps along the Ouachita River near Monroe.
