THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL I'AGE SIX Thursday, October 7, 1943 Flood Control Move Off to a Successful Start (Continued from Page One) inches in the drainage area, there was eighty per cent carried off in the flood waters; that later caused damage and danger to riattsmouth property. One of the ways to check this in a natural manner was that of expanding the contour terracing of the farms, to held much of the water for use on the farms, planting of more trees and shrubbery that would tend to hold back the rapid move ment of water. These methods would, in the opinion cf Mr. Reed handle the surplus water of a three inch rainfall without any other methods. The matter of retard dams was rso discussed by members of the visiting parly, dams that would impound the waters from heavy rains until they could be released. If sites were available in the sur rounding territory these dams would serve a good purpose in holding back surplus waters and supplement the conservation work on the soil. S. S. Davis pointed out the. The meeting heard a short dis cussion, of , the conditions at Mc Gregor, la., located on the Missis sippi river, where the general set up is similar to that in Platjs mouth as far as flood water is concerned. During the meeting Dr. Condra pointed out that a sewer to handle the surplus water, if it was not checked at the source, would be very high cost to the community, this same result could be reached by careful and understanding handling of the soil conservation program. John Bauer, Sr., and Charles Grosshans, local men who live and have interest in the flood areas, told of their experiences and approved the plan for a pro gram that would save the soil and hold off the surface water. With the strong sentiment of the meeting evidenced for some steps to start on the conservation program, Dr. Condra stated a committee would be appointed to serve in the capacity of advisors, on work in this locality, if pos sible he would like a local mem ber on the committee. This will give the flood, control plan a great start and with the advice and council of the trained tech1 nicians of the state and federal sent head of the work in this lo cality.
