Hoover plans vast flood relief and levee expansion
Secretary Hoover urges a ten year Mississippi valley flood control program costing over 150 million dollars plus 15 to 20 million annually for ongoing navigation works. He outlines higher levees, federal responsibility, a spillway safety valve for New Orleans, possible by passes toward the Arkansas and emergency basins. Relief funding details include 13.4 million Red Cross spent by Nov 1 and 7 million in federal supplies, with remaining funds guiding post November needs.
