FLOOD PREVENTION
government Engineers
Want Money to Make
Investigations.

There are three ways to prevent the
repetition of the recent disastrous
flood III the opinion of Col Francis
Skunk, chairman of the special
board OF government engineers, des-
Ignaled by Secreta of War Ga.-
rlson to investigate and make recon-.
mendatlo"s for the prevention Of
Hood devastation. The three ways
suggested by Col. Skunk are:
FIrst-A system of reservoirs.
Second = By Strengthening the
channels.
Thirdly building levees.
One Of the first acts of the board
was to ask the chief engineer 10
place before congress the necessity
of the immediate appropriation of
Sl5O, 600 to be used in gaining data
on the Ohio valley and the valleys
of the Ohio tributaries.
This money, if secured, will be
used at once to employ experts to
get information about the various
streams which form the Ohio sys-
TEN.
The purpose of the desired ap-
preparation is the employment of
observers who will take accurate
measurements. They are to get the
rain gua5e, the euage of the streams
and the amour. of the run-off water.
With information on these three
points the engineer Will be able to
90 TO work.
The chief engineer declares that
the observations should be made
over period of at least a year.
