Despite the delay, the hazar-

the other two members.
One appointment is made by the
State Board of Charities and

selecting the third person with
whom they will be associated in

Before this year the commits

makes possible such an appoint

The appointment this month by

Florence Flood
Water Problem
Meeting Held

Florence flood water problems
were discussed in conference at
the county seat Monday afternoon
when both Indian Service and dis
trict officials of San Carlos pro-
ject met with representatives of
Florence and state agencies.
Desert flood waters coursing off
the desert east of Florence have
long proved a menace to that city,
state prison, private and state pro-
perty. Canals of the project carry
a large part of the water but rains
frequently are so severe as to fill
the canals, overflow spillways and
rush through the city over the
main street and On to the river.
Two weeks ago water flooded
many business houses of the city.
1t is estimated that flood pro
ject approximating $4,000 would
be necessary to curb these flash,
desert run-offs Concensus of
opinion expressed at the meeting
was that survey should be start
ed Immediately to determine
actual costs which would be joint
ly borne by the town of Florence,
state prison, state highway de-
partment, Pinal county and San
Carlos project.
1t is believed fully 1000 second
feet of water must be handled at
times by the drainage project.
