County Flood Control Goals Outlined In Coquille Meeting
County water groups met in Coquille to plan flood control for Coos county. Rood outlined three aims: store rain in upper watershed, keep channel clear to prevent washes and floods, and improve drainage beyond Coquille to aid all areas. He cited 55,000 acres of tillable land with 40 percent flooded six to 60 days yearly and noted past floods in 1955 and 1956 causing about 2.5 million dollars in damage.
