River Flood Control association, It was decided Wednesdny noon at a meeting of the chamber board of directors. At the same time, II. E. Maxey, president of the association, sent wires to Senator McNary at Washington, urging that the report of 'the nrtny engineers on the survey. made here In 1032 be made public at once.

The Eugene chamber received word Wednesday that General Pillshury, of the army engineers at Washington, D. C. had instructed the divisional engineer at Portland to consider flood control work in Washington and Oregon, according to II. E. Cully, secretory of the Eugene chamber.

The decision to consider this matter was brought nhotii directly by the recent floods which hnve spread havoc in Oregon and Washington, Mr. Cully said. In order to facilitate the inclusion of the local flood control work in any federal project which may be inaugurated, the local chamber and the flood control association will present data on flood conditions here. Due to the fact that a federal survey already has Wen made, it is felt that the report of this survey would facilitate the matter of presenting this project to the government. However, no word of this report ever has been received hre.
