Committee Okays 35 Million for Flood Projects
The House Public Works committee approved legislation authorizing the Army Engineers to spend 35 million dollars for emergency flood control. Most funds repair Missouri river levees and damaged works from recent floods with remaining money for other areas. Brig. Gen. C. H. Chorpening said completion of the four main stem dams would have prevented much damage, and noted five million sandbags used in the effort. He cited Omaha and Council Bluffs savings and warned of floods elsewhere, including the Rio Grande and California.
