lined for representatives of the city and county governments and State Highway Department Wednesday night, July 24. Wayne J. Ferguson, chief of small projects section of the Corps of Engineers, Tulsa, visited the affected sections and the Wellington watershed with Mayor John Coleman and City Manager Doc Barjwbruch ear-. The Corps of Engineers was called in by County Judge Zook Thomas and Mayor Coleman after flood waters poured onto the town section July 15, damaging homes and businesses. Mr.

Ferguson emphasized the $300,000 figure was simply to indicate the size of the project and that he did not want to be held to it. The on-the-ground survey that day indicated that as much as a mile of levee and possibly three miles of drainage ditches would be required to control the floodwaters in the watershed of the Wellington vicinity. Rebuilding of two bridges, one on US 83 and the other on State 203, and poaaibly a third an FM 338 is Indicated. Again, it was pointed out these things are tentative and detailed study will be required for the final decision. If the project is constructed by the Corps of Engineers, the cost to the this case the county and be an estimated 35 to 40 percent of the total cost.

The Corps will pay for the remainder. Mr. Ferguson said that there are three parts to Wellington's flooding problem. Water that falls north of Wellington between the Fort Worth Denver Railroad and Highway 83 runs into a natural funnel into the northeast part of Wellington. This is thejva ter that oamaged home Flats, homes and business along US 83 North.

Water falling west of the railroad funnels into town also, gathers more water on the town section and goes on south. This accounted for flooding of businesses and homes farther south. Water that gathers In the southwest part of town contributes to the flooding, but this is a drainage problem and is therefore a problem of the city. The first two can be handled by a Corps of Engineers project. There-must bra legal apt sorrand the county and city in a meeting with property own ers affected by the flooding had agreed to work jointly.

The planning of the project does not cost the sponsor a cent, Mr. Ferguson pointed out.
