Court Upsets Levee Figures in Holt County Case
Missouri district engineer Col. F Laurson says a new method for computing levee costs could end theMissouri River agricultural levee program if the Missouri Supreme Court agrees. Circuit Judge Emmett J Crouse dissolved the Tarkio Squaw Creek Levee District in Holt County citing costs exceeding benefits. Federal funds totaling 15.8 million were to be matched by 2 million local funds. Laurson notes the ruling marks the first time federal money used for levee construction is counted as a district cost rather than a gift.
