Strong City Favors Flood Control Plan Delegation at Topeka is Working for Cedar Creek Reservoir, Smaller Dams Special to The Gazette: Strong community, today Is by a- delegation at Tc-peka attending a flood control hearing before a congressional committee. At a meeting Sunday afternoon at the rural high school building here resolutions were passed representing majority opinion of about 20 persons present, principally landowners and business men, on what types of flood control were wanted for the area. The 2-point resolution tp be at Topeka were: We favor the erection of a reservoir on Cedar creek. 2.

We favor the erection of retention reservoirs that would contol the water on tributaries of the Cottonwood river in fJhase county. Kenneth Clark, president of the Strong City Chamber of Commerce, presided at the meeting Sunday and heads' the Topeka delegation which includes State Rep. Keith Drummond, of and Mayor John Sidler, of Strong City. The first point of the resolution aroused some opposition as it concerns and approves proposed construction of the Army-engineered Cedar Creek reservoir on that stream above Cedar Point. Considerable issue was made of the point that the reservoir if built' should be nearly emptied following floods anO that no emphasis should be placed on maintenance of a conservation pool for recreation.

Mayor Sidler and Representative Drummond emphasized that the Army engineers' system for the upper Neosho and Cottonwood valley was already authorized and that if anything was done in immediate future years, the big reservoir program Is the most likely. of the persons present stressed that much of the July flood damage of Strong City and the valley In. Chase county came from terrific runoff on watersheds of such streams as Fox, Diamond and Middle creeks and the Cottonwood's South Pork. Point two of the resolution sought retention dams as an advanced progrnm of the Soil Conservation Service to. control floods on streams.

They were termed 'dry reservoirs" not designed for recreation, but to slow runoff to the mam stem of the Cottonwood. Some doubt was expressed that even If the Cedar Creek reservoir had been in operation last month that it would have greatly reduced the record flood level at Stronit City. No support was expressed st the meeting for the proposed levee for Strong City. Some believe that the dike would have given false security to lowest land residents of the town.
