Alamogordo Dam flood control cost to be reimbursed
Washington legislative action seeks to shift flood control costs of the Alamogordo project to the federal government under the 1938 flood control act. The War Department will determine the reimbursable portion and present it to Congress. New Mexico’s delegation, led by Senator Hatch, pushed to return funds as flood control costs rather than irrigation. The dam’s flood control value was shown by its management of last year’s high water near Carlsbad.
