Work Of Flood Prevention In
Ohio Says Official

Columbus, O., June 26-Communl-
ties in valleys of the southern Scioto,
Muskingum, Tuscarawas, Sandusky
and Auglalze rivers, received rebuke
for their lethargy in pushing flood pre-
vention measures, in statement is
sued by John !. Miller, superintendent

Conditions in the Maumee and
Miami valleys are better, he declared,
since In the former danger of serious
floods as occurred last year, are slight
and in the latter preparations for
flood prevention work are being car
ried on with reasonable swiftness.
"Citizens and county officials in
these other river valleys should begin
Immediately to compel railroad com.
panies to make bridges longer and
lessen obstruction in the rivers, and
to do this for all public bridges"
