Resolued, That the board, in behalf of
the Los Angeles chamber of commerce,
as it is duly authorized to do, heartily
endorse the report and resolutions of
the champer of commerce of the state of
New York of June 3, 1890, with regard
to the appropriation of money by con-
gress for the permanent protection of
the country bordering on the Mississippi
river from overt1ows.
That river is our country's greatest
and most important natural channel of
transportation and travel, and is worth
preserving at the expense of many
millions to the nation, while the fertile
region inundated by its overfows de-
serves protection ON account of the vast
population it will sustain and the rich
addition to the productive wealth of the
country, of which it is capable.
Resolved, That copy of this resolution
be sent to the chamber of commerce Of
the state of New York and to the repre-
sentative in congress from this district
to the chambers of commerce of New
Orleans, Baton Rouge, Vicksburg and
Memphis.
