Flood Control Appeal to Senators by Engineer Major Hawley
Major Hawley of Fort Worth urges Texas lawmakers to approve annual $300,000 for two years to fund the Texas board of water engineers and the Texas reclamation service. He says the investment will save or create wealth in the tens of millions, citing past flood losses and potential irrigation gains, and notes expected benefits from topographic surveys, reservoir site mapping, and flow measurement stations. The call accompanies a financial review showing 1922 food exports and grain movements, with sharp declines in several commodities offset by gains in others.
