proposing two methods of flood control president c c williams discussed flood conditions in ad dressing the bethlehem kiwanis club thursday noon president williams pointed out that because of the sizable amount of water which overflowed the banks of the mississippi a system of reservoirs would be unfeasible for this river but he stated that such a system would be very prac ticable to prevent serious floods at pittsburgh and places along the ohio delaware susquehanna and lehigh rivers for large rivers like the lower mississippi the only practical pro cedure is to build levees and other training and regulatory works as may be necessary to confine the flow to a limited channel stated president williams the cost of flood control meas ures was discussed in giving further details of regulatory methods flood control projects are typ ical public works which result in social benefit without involving any product or service which must be marketed in competition with pri vate
