Flood Could Have Been Prevented by Pymatuning Reservoir
The water supply commission states the Shenango valley flood could have been reduced by about five feet if the Pymatuning reservoir had existed. It argues the 96 hour discharge from March 24 to 28 would have been absorbed, lowering flood heights at Sharon and New Castle and reducing Beaver Falls discharge by about seven percent, with the dam capable of temporary higher water when needed.

Tener Faces Decision on City Government Change for New Castle
Harrisburg Governor Tener may decide if New Castle adopts a commission form or a small council. The small council bill for third class cities heads to the Senate Municipal Affairs committee, while the commission bill clears the Senate and awaits a House committee. If both pass, the governor would choose between the two, impacting tax levies spending and department heads including police. The small council plan envisions a five member council with pay for a 15 000 population increment, funded by local referendums, and a non partisan ballot.
