B. AND O. HAS NO MONEY
FOR FLOOD CONTROL WORK
Offers Its Engineers and Coop
Grafton In Preventing Future
Floods In Oakland

Although the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company will cooperate with
Oakland in an endeavor to prevent fu-
ture floods in the business section, che
railway company has no funds to
expend for that sort of work at the
present time, it was learned following
meeting of representatives of the
company with the Mayor and Town
Council on Tuesday afternoon.
W. w. Gwathmey, G. E. Morris and
H. S. Davis, of the engineering depart
ment of the railroad company, with
headquarters at Clarksburg, w. Va,
were in Oakland Tuesday afternoon
and discussed the situation with city
officials.
1t is the belief of city officials that
had the opening or culvert beneath the
railroad tracks been several feet wider
it would have been ample to care for
the large amount of water spread
through the business district to a
depth of five feet in some places and
caused damage of many thousands
of dollars. 1t was suggested that the
present culvert be widened or an addi-
tional one be made to care for any
emergency in high water.
Baltimore and Ohio officials offered
their services and cooperation, but
said no money was available. 1t was
thought, however, that Federal funds
for flood control projects were availa-
BILE and an investigation is being made
of this by the town council.
