BINGHAMTON, N. Y, March 10
UN.SO. - Central-Southern New
York's flood-control problem is as
deserving of Federal solution as
the plains States duSt-Storm prop
lem, and for the same reason.
This is the argument OF the
flood-control council of central
southern New York, the citizens
group with headquarters here
which is fighting to obtain Govern
ment safeguards against floods
like those which took more than
40 lives and caused over $28, ,000, 900
damage in 16 New York coun-
ties and upper Pennsylvania last
summer.
Floods which arise in one
State and sweep on into another,
endangering life, property and
human welfare, are distinctly
a Federal problem"
So declared Michael H. Cahlll,
Steuben county prosecutor and
chairman of the councils execu-
tive committee. who added:
"And that is what we intend
to point out at the public hear
ing on local flood control in
Washington March is. We ex-
pect to get the right answer"
WILL SET PATTERN
Quick action by the Govern
ment would do much to allay ris-
ing fears of even more severe
floods in the Susquehanna Valley
this year, Cahill said. He pointed
out that the $26,000,000 erosion
Cornell University eStimate)
caused by the July. 1885, torrents
have left a condition which will
make floods more devastating in
the future if precipitation is
heavy.
Action taken by the Govern
ment in this case will be of ma
tional significance, according to
Tom r. Hutton, editor Of the
Binghamton Press and member
of the executive council. It may
set a pattern for similar problems
in the future and in other States.
Hutton said:
Floods, caused by erosion,
defOrestatiOn, and similar fac
tors, will become an increasing
problem in the country In the
future.
"A great deal Of pioneering
in the establishment Of q sane
formula Of approach by Fed
eraI and State governments to
the question Of control is essen
tial.
A NEW PROBLEM
Because flood control in the
United States is as new as it Is
the legislative pattern followed
by State and Federal govern
ments is still hazy, full Of
blanks and, unfortunately, sus-
ceptible to antique general yard
sticks for the measurement Of
what is called economic justifi-
cation"
A strictly economic yardstick
cannot be adequate where safety
of life, human welfare and other
intangibles are factors, the editor
declared.
Furthermore, flood control for
mulae must be worked out in this
country on the basis of the diff
culties found here, and not on
experiences Of European nations
whose cultures extend back many
centuries, Hutton predicted.
"NOw, regardless of textbooks
or theories, we do not actually
know when high water strikes
Ohio, New York, or other
States where floods are becOm-
ing increasingly frequent,
whether we are getting a 10
year flood a '25-year flood or
q '5O-year flood
"But we do know this: We
are reaping the cumulative re-
suits of abuses of Over-cultiva-
tiOn in those areas.
"And we know we must find
remedies for the conditions left
by these abuses if we are to
continue in our greatness as q
nation"
