Jones Reid flood bill trimmed after White House talks
The House adopted Coolidge amendments to the Jones Reed Mississippi flood control bill amid a push to avoid a presidential veto. President Coolidge will not concede further, and leaders expect a quick pass unless new amendments are demanded. The flood committee kept work under the president and a three member board under army engineers, while rejecting several key provisions on land purchases and state rights.
