MECHEM TALKS
On FLOOD
PROTECTION
First Speaker at Confer
ence Is Here
Today

Ways and means OF preventing fu-
ture floods along the Rio Grande for
all river counties are being voiced
this afternoon at a special meeting in
the Chamber OF Commerce building
by engineers and others who have
made flood protection a study. Some
OF the best engineering talent in the
state is present and hope was ex-
pressed that definite steps for flood
protection would be taken. More than
S5 are attending the meeting.
Eugene Kempenich, state highway
engineer, was elected chairman OF the
meeting and City Manager James n.
Governor'elect Merritt c. Mechem
was one OF the first TO speak.
Cam cto Listen.
lie said he came to the meeting not
to speak but mostly to learn what
the people wanted. He said he re-
allied the importance OF the gather
| ing and hoped that much good would
be accomplished, He wanted to
learn the problems that were facing
the people and wished more knowl-
edge concerning the valley conditions,
he said.
II. o. Brsum, who followed the
governorelect, said that he hoped
steps could be taken for the forming
OF an organization to push the prob
lem of flood protection. He was in
favor of channeling the river, he
said
with practical men at the head
of AN organization OF this kind" he
said, "it would mean millions to the
state. The Strengthening of the
river channel should be done ror
100000. 1t Is not an expensive
proposition. The STRENGTHENING OF
the river would reduce the amount
Of drainage work necessary in the
state"
Urge Permanent Work.
Don Rankin and r. S. Conroy,
who were called upon, said that
something better than temporary
protection should be provided. The
Strengthening of the levies is not
enough, they said. Mr.. Rankin said
the small diversion dams, which
break down and fiji the river, thus
causing 1t to spread, should be re-
placed by bigger projects.
Mr.. Kempenich said the thought
there should be some emergency
measures taken. Some one should

He told of an instance where the
flood threatened one community sew
eral years ago. Everyone was called

were arguing where to begin work
he said, the river broke through the
banks and flooded the country.
