Flood Loss Report From State Sanitary Engineer
E B Johnson assistant state sanitary engineer returned to Monroe for the weekend with a report on northwest Louisiana flood damage. He cites 783 houses flooded in Natchitoches parish 680 in Red River parish and 450 in Caddo parish. Water levels closely match or exceed those of 1927 in various areas and 2500 water supplies have been chlorinated across six parishes. Rehab funding is the chief challenge as farmers face seed shortages and some plan to abandon crops with Red Cross aid aiding recovery efforts.
