Jones flood bill eyed as basis for compromise in Congress
Washington March 1 The Jones flood control bill proposing a 325 million dollar fund to shield the Mississippi valley from floods looms as a compromise between army engineers and the Mississippi river commission plans. Local communities would cover one third of levee costs and sustain rights of way, while the federal government would handle spillways and major levee breaks. The measure faces support from Senate leaders though Arkansas senators oppose the local cost burden as bankrupt communities. The plan is to be tested in a conference with President Coolidge and key lawmakers.
