City Supports
Flood Control
Will Cooperate
With Droin Chief

Expressing concern over the
danger of disastrous floods on
the Clinton River this Spring,
and urging that War Depart
ment or Federal Government at
tention be kept centered on this
problem, the City Commission
of Mount Clemens Wednesday
instructed Ernest l.. Pettingill,
city engineer, to cooperate with
Drain Commissioner William c.
Harper and~other agents in
seeking aid.
Mayor Donald r. Westendorf
stressed the dangers pointed out
by Harper in a recent statement,
particularly the fact that a new
Reconstructed dyke on the
north side of the ride. protect
ing Sclfridge Field will cut off
hundreds of acres of land which
formerly helped drain the rising
Clinton.
The commission authorized
Pettingill to work with Harper
in placing the flood problem
before Federal and Army au-
thorities, in Detroit and. al
though not revealing optimism
regarding immediate results, in
Dictated that the city should con-
tinue TO hammer at" govern
ment authorities until relief is
obtained.
Heavy precipitation so far this
winter, if followed by sudden
thaW. would produce very high
water in the river. Westendorf
pointed out. He stressed the fact
that continued expansion of the
county drainage structure re-
suits in fast and general flow
of water into the river, rather
than the gradual seepage plann-
ed by nature.

Their action resulted from the
reading of a resolution passed
by the East Detroit City Council

lease with the EVA is serving
as a milestone in the progress

sign any agreements for the dis

who spoke before the board,
made it clear that the Federal
government wanted Harper's
signature as County Drain Com
missioner, thus involving the
county to an extent which might
only be determined in a court of
law.
Supervisors, however. found
themselves with the same gun
in their back as they expert
enced in 1912. In March of that
Year they authorized the late
George T. Smith TO sign the in
terceptor agreement - includ-
ing the disputed SAB per mil
lion gallons rate-because state
and federal authorities had join

luton at ST. Clair Shores: had
expressed alarm over the health
menace in Warren Townships

threatened to take the county
into court.
PROJECTS HELD UP
But the pressure hurt most
when much-needed housing and
other projects in the South Ma
comb area were delayed (some
officials ch arge they were
"shelved') by the WPA when
the county baked at accepting
an interceptor drain with strings
attached involving a 100000
