Flood Control Costs and Where To Fix It
A New York Herald Tribune report discusses flood control financing and the split over who should pay the costs. It notes President Coolidge’s view that states and local communities should bear about 20 percent, though the figure is not fixed. The piece highlights political signaling around Secretary Hoover’s possible stance and the Senate committee’s invitation for Hoover to testify. It mentions the War Department’s role rather than the Commerce Department and cites the potential electoral implications for Hoover in Ohio. The analysis weighs the significance of Hoover’s forthcoming testimony and the committee’s questions.
