Key TO the whole concern, from

Is the fact that about half the stuff

mostly In the line OF oxide paint-not

Horton and Stickney state that the

the Dayton flood Owing to the rapid

The problem before the city Is not
merely 10 get the water thru the city,
or holding it bacl; and reducing the

difficulty OF doing this is increased by

before the Advisory Committe OF

u1issioners yesterday afternoon at the
city hall. They arrived in the city
Saturday noon and left for Denver
yesterday afternoon. They outlined
the immediate necessary steps that
will have to be taken before anything
can be started on the flood prevention
construction.
They stated that between $4,000 and
$4,000 would be required for COM
plete survey Of the Arkansas and
Fountain rivers thru the city and a
couple Of miles on each side This
would require between 50 TO 30 days.
an additional SIS 900 would have to be
spent for maps, plans and estima ties,
which would require three or four
months longer. making the prelimin-
ary work extend over period o. from
Hour to six months.

years experience in river work and
reservoir construction. They are mem
