Senate Committee to
Ask Many Millions
For Flood Grafters

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. o.
The Senate committee on commerce
now considering flood control plans
for a series of levees and spillways
on the Mississippi is expected to ask
$200,000,000 more of Congress than
the Coolidge plan demands. The new
policy involves shifting the main bur-
den of costs to the federal govern
ment rather than taxing local flood
areas.
1t is believed the new plan will in
crease graft possibilities, which, ac-
cording to experts, is the only ad-
vantage of the present flood control
policy. Contracts are awarded for in
effectual patching which requires
frequent renewing.
