DREDGING URGED
Course Necessary to Stop
Damaging Floods, Hear

BY LESTER N. INSKEEP.
Stan Correspondent OF The Star.

LAUREL, Md, February 4.-Dredg-
Ing OF the Patuxent River from short
distance below Laurel to point where
the tidewater begins was advocated
by nearly all persons appearing to-
day before a public nearing being
conducted by Lieut.. Matteson, engineer
commissioner, and his aide on the
subject of flood control between this
town and the Chesapeake Bay.
The engineers were informed by
Representative Gambrill and many
others that the stream has become
so choked with debris it overfiows its
banks with every heavy rain, some
times as many as four or i've times
annually.
While none Of the speakers could
estimate the annual loss in terms OF
money it was asserted that thousands
OF acres of fertile bottom land have
been made useless during the past
several years by the ever-increaslng
damage from the floods.
Fort George G. Meade Cut on.
Gen. Edward Hatch, U. S. A., re-
tired, Mayor of Laurel. said most OF
the affected area is between the town
and the bay, although some damage
is caused each year in the town proper.
He pointed out that flood waters fire.
quently inundate State highways as
we'll as county roads, cutting of
communication with many localities.
In this respect, he pointed to the
plight of Fort George G. Meade dur
ing the March. 1886. flood, when the
fort was cut off from this section for
several weeks.
Another serious problem. Gen.
Hatch said, is that of furnishing an
adequate water supply for the town,
the floods affecting the present source,
a tributary Of the Patuxent.
Engineer Submits Survey.
G. H. Sykes, an engineer for the
Works Progress Administration. sub
mitted a survey made by him last
year, which was to the effect that the
only relief possible would be the dredg-
ing and widening of the river,
The worst-hit section, it was stated
by Gull Barber, who has over 600
acres of land and estimates his annual
loss at S2,500, is stretch Is miles
long and approximately a mile in
width. All of this land, he said is
assessed at only $40 an acre, whereas
and beyond the reach of flood waters
is assessed at and sells for 500 an
acre or more.
