TELLS ABOUT FLOODS
Harvard Man Speaks Before kiwanis
Club.

When considering means OF flood
prevention, the greatest problem which
presents itself is that of dealing with
rain after it falls, George Fillmore
Swain, professor of civil engineering
in Harvard University. declared IN
a talk on flood prevention before the
Kiwanis Club, Friday at the Gunter
Hotel.
There are three phases to this prob
lem. the speaker said, namely, those
of preventing rain from reaching
streams, taking care of water after
il has reached the streams and TAX
ing the water out of the streams after
it has gotten in. The first, he SAID.
NAV be accomplished BY forests and
growing crops: the second. by widen.
ing. deepening and smoothing out OF
river channel; and the third, by the
construction of spillways.
In dealing with its flood problem,
San Antonio must give its attention
to the first two phases, Mr.. Swain
said. The city could build a basin
or dry reservoir for. holding back
flood waters and also could straighten
the river channel and remove obstruc-
ton. The speaker urged that COM
petent engineering advice be retained
and that the, city do all possible in
the way of Slcod prevention that its
resources permit.
Mayor-elect John Tobin and other
members of the incoming city council
were guests of the club. Mayor Tobin
said that he hoped that all Kiwanians
who might have voted for his oppon-
ent would forget their political differ
ences and work with him for the good
of San Antonio. He promised to re-
duce expenses as much as possible
and TO go ahead with civic improve
ment as far as it is consistent with
economy. He said that flood proven
ton and the building of an auditorium
would receive his first attention upon
taking office. Commissioners Wright,
Lambert, Bushick and Steffler were
introduced TO the club and were
given an ovation.
l.. l.. Stephenson gave a demon
stration in ice cutting. He said that
new process known as scoring in
surcd housewives getting correct
weight.
The next regular meeting will
be held ut the Alamo Country Club.
Nat Washer presided.
