Optimistic Prospect for Flood Control Funding in 1957
Mayors and an official from Ottawa Lamar Phillips and George Lister returned from Washington last night optimistic about starting flood central construction on the Marais des Cygnes in 1957. They asked Congress for 1.6 million for Pomona Melvern reservoirs and Ottawa channel work with bonds, and stressed flood losses and drought impact. Ottawa already spent pre survey funds and stands ready to begin when federal funds arrive. Local authorities foresee possible budget reductions but expect river basin projects to proceed, aligning with national river control and soil water conservation aims.
