No alumnus of Georgetown can in

FLOOD CONTROL
PLAN OUTLINED
by ENGINEERS
Tentative Plans Indicate
Comprehensive Flood Con-
troll Could be Secured by
Cost Of About $4,000 900

A tentative plan for flood control,
which il is estimated will cost the
Valley approximately $i,000,000. was
outlined at the meeting Of the Valley
engineers. held ut Mercedes, by the
committee appointed at needing
held last week. when various phases OF
the situation obtaining in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley were discussed, and
the conclusion reached that the Valley
engineers should extend ell possible
aid in solving the Valleys flood con-
troll problems at the earliest possible
date.
The plan submitted by the commit
tee, which provides that no existing
structures will be abandoned or des.
troyed, met with the unanimous ap-
proval Of the engineers organization.
The entire day was devoted to discus
sion of the various phases of the plan.
and the meeting adjourned until Fri
day, June. 20, when details Of the
plan will be taken up and discussed
more thoroughly. Practically every part
Of the Valley was represented by the
engineers present, and they expressed
the opinion that when all details Of the
plan submitted are worked out, II will
prove the basis upon which flood pro-
lection for the entire Valley can be
secured.
Flood Control Only Object.
The fact was stressed that the OBJ
ject fthe plan was to secure flood
protection BY the discharge Of flood
waters through natural courses, and did
not include conservation or reclama-
tion. The general plan of flood con-
troll adheres strictly to the principle
Of building no levees on the bank or
the river which will affect the natur-
al spill of the water at the main points
of overflow. The outline stated that
the natural courses fer the overflow
should be followed rs far as practica-
bic and should be utilized to their lin
it in designing channels which will
safely convey all the overflow waters
from The points Of discharge from the
river out to the Gulf
In accordance with this plan the
committee recommended that no levees
of the Mission irrigation system, and
that no clearing be done in the area
west Of the Mission main canal for the
purpose Of directing the waters or that
would affect the natural overflow over
the west bank near Mission. The en-
igneers estimate that approximately
$4,000 to 10000 cubic feet per second
natural flow will come from the area
west of the Mission canal. This guam
tity Of water will safely pass under
the Mission fumes, From the Mission
fumes the plan proposes to confine
the flood waters between levees along
the Sardinas resaca.
Carry Overflows Into Floodway.
Overflow waters from the vicinity Of
Grangeno Ranch below Mission will be
allowed 10 flow freely and will be
conducted between levees to the main
channel of the floodway through the

For two weeks practically every town
