Favoring Stronger Levees and Waterway Plans
Maj. Gen. Edgar Jadwin and Senator Harry B. Hawes pressed flood control and river development at the Mississippi Valley association meeting in St. Louis. Hawes proposed a Missouri plan to fund $1B over ten years with a five member commission. Jadwin urged stronger levees, bank protection, spillways, safety valves, and greater federal cost share. He said waterways must be used wisely and that levee repair after last spring’s flood will finish before next flood season. Hawes warned plans must prioritize flood control before navigation, while supporting federal responsibility for floods and navigations.
