It is a high mountainous area, of about 100 square miies and produces such a heavy run-off when its flood peat joins the water of the other drainages in San Fernando Valley that the volume of Los Angeles river has in times past equaled that discharged from the San Gabriel mountains and San Gabriel river. Other items under this project include Tu OFFICIAL DECLARES FLOOD CONTROL VITAL "One such flood as occurred in Los Angeles county in 1914 or 1918 cbuld easily create more damage 'than the total cost of constructing dams and reservoirs as proposed under the flood control nnd water conservation program which prevents just such disaster." That was the warning sounded here junga Central wash, Main Tujunga, East and West Sides. The section drained by Pacoinia canyon and its area lies north of Sah Fernando Valley and comprises in by J. Hill, fur eight years county counsel of Los Angeles and now a director of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. Hill pointed to the necessity of not only protecting the county against flood hazard, but of conserving the water in mountain regions, releasing it during those seasons when it is most needed and, as well, replenishing underground reservoirs.

"The 536,300,000 bond issue for this work is a measure which should receive the support of every in the county," declared Hill. "The work is a vital one and will never cost less than now. From the very inception of the flood control district the plan has always been to eliminate tain dams and reservoirs to hold Lhe water at its source. The problem has been with us for some time and cannot be postponed longer. "Tax ievys now made for' flood control are sufficient to pay any interest and sinking fund charges against the bond issue, when spread over a period of forty years.

The improvements themselves so enhance present taxable properties and create new values to a point where the project, in the final analysis, pays for itself." C. S. Whitcomb, also a director of the Los Angeles Chamber and a man who has worked tirelessly in Southern California for water conservation, went on record today, declaring "this proposed project has approval of county, state and government engineers, The Chamber in Los Angeles has urged its 12,000 odd members to vote for the project on May 6th. Hazard to the city is as great as that to any rural district and the benefit of this conservation plan equalizes itself throughout the entire county."
