DRAINAGE CONGRESS
OPENED AT NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS. April s.-Acting Pres
ident Edward Perkins. of the National
Drainage congress. arrived yesterday
from Chicago to attend the second an
nual convention of the congress. Other
officers and delegates are expected to ar
rive today. The congress will begin its
session Wednesday at 10 a. m. Governor
Sanders and Mayor Behrman welcome the
delegates.
THE preset high water which is
threatening to devastate the homes of
thousands of residents of the states bor-
dering on the Mississippi river is the best
possible illustration of the necessity of
the work advocated by the National
Drainage congress, although it is a
mighty expensive one" declared Presi-
dent Perkins last night.
THE flood is a standing testimonial
for government flood protection, and the
holding of the congress at New Orleans
will give the delegates an excellent OPP
portuhity to learn how easy it is to guard
against the crevasses and overflows that
now daily threaten other sections of the
country"
