Mississippi flood control hearings

The hearings held February 10, 13 and 26, before the Flood Control Committee of the House of Representatives of which Frank R. Reid, of Illinois, is chairman, have now been printed and may be had from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. This volume comprises 470 pages of testimony, presented by 37 men, many of whom were Congressmen and Senators from the states of the alluvial valley of the Mississippi River. The principal message which these men brought was that the project adopted in 1928 was not satisfactory, and that additional remedial legislation on this question was necessary.
