Journal Want Ads Pay 7S ON TH Sesitrol Program! To The Citizens of Plattsmouth: After many months of planning and engineering surveys, a practical flood control plan has been worked out for our city. Federal approval has been obtained, and funds, allocated which we must match in proportion by vol untary contributions. T rHE PROJECT - Five Floodwater Retarding Structures. Five combination Floodwater r Sediment Structures. HE COST- The Federal Government pays approximately $2 for each $1 paid by us. Plattsmouth's share is about $30,000 over a 5-year period. FUND iAISaWG- The Planning Committee, appointed by your city ad ministration, is headed by Mr. Paul Fauquet. This com mittee, working closely with the engineers of the Soil Conservation Service, has outlined the area which will directly benefit from the project. Property owners in the area being asked to contribute to the fund as follows: Residential (Minimum Hazard) ..$20.00 Business Properties (Depending on size) .$40.00 and up It is the opinion of the committee that the suggested contributions are equitable, since it would be almost impossible to calculate a graduated hazard for each in dividual piece of property. I Who have volunteered their services, will call on you who are benefited within the next two weeks. You will be asked to sign a pledge card for your contribution, and PAY HALF the amount pledged. Half the money is need ed THIS YEAR to purchase land and easements, and to build the major flood structure. Your city government will handle all funds and contracts. rnis project is a bargain- A one time investment in flood insurance, which you can buy in no other way, with "Uncle Sam" paying two thirds the cost. Give your share and we will get the pro ject gcing. The City of Plattsmouth Bruce E.
