Engineers Pleased
With Flood
Control

Col. j. D. Arthur, jr., of the
Huntington, w. Va, district of the
u. S. engineering corps, stated that
the Muskingum Conservancy dis
trict flood control system function
ed perfectly under its first general
test a few weeks ago. Colonel Ar
thur believes that the heavy rains
and melting ice of March 2 and 3
would have caused much damage in
the Muskingum valley had the flood
control system not been in opera
ton. Engineers state that for the
Information of those occupying land
in rural regions, efforts will be
made to hold the streams to lower
levels during the growing season
than during the winter season, when
little damage would result from the
temporary flooding of low lands, adj
jacent to the streams. This is pos
sible since the summer floods are
always of less magnitude than the
winter floods.
BY the way it was q years ago
yesterday that the Muskingum river
here reached it's highest stage in
history. In that flood the damage
done was several times the entire
Muskingum Conservancy district
cost.
