The following paragraph is taken from Report of Chief of Engineers, United State Army, 1924, page 1686, regarding "Local Cooperation": "The River and Harbor Act, approved July 27, 1916, appropriated $10,000 for this river, subject to the condition that local interests should contribute a like sum toward the improvement. This condition has been met, $5,000 of the amount coming from the State of California and $2,500 each from Sutter and Yuba counties." "Considerable work has been done by local interests in construction of training walls, restraining barriers, and snagging and bank-protection work; and freight sheds and terminal facilities have been provided at Marysville. It is estimated that about $1,000,000 has been so expended." TABLE No. 6. EXPENDITURES BY LOCAL INTERESTS ON RECLAMATION WORKS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF SACRAMENTO FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT.

EXPENDITURES BY LOCAL INTERESTS ON SACRAMENTO FLOOD CONTROL PROJECT. (Estimated Expenditures, June 30, 1910, to December 31, 1923.) The project of the State Reclamation Board, in working out a comprehensive plan of reclamation for the overflow lands of the valley has been largely completed, and with the completion of a construction program of control works on the Sacramento River that has entailed an expenditure of approximately $36,000,000, the fertile bottom lands of the valley are now enjoying a freedom from the disastrous floods of the Sacramento River which in years past have retarded their intensivedevelopment and growth. Many acres of this rich and productive land formerly given over to annual cropping have been supplanted by orchards and other permanent crops which have enhanced its value manyfold. This great Caving Banks at Moulton Fump, Sacramento River. increase in the value of the land and its products is being reflected by the substantial and permanent character of the improvements which are being made on it by the owners. Now that the danger of flood caused by the river overflowing its banks has been largely removed, wharves, warehouses, pumping plants, beautiful homes and well-kept grounds have replaced the cheap dwellings and shacks which formerly dotted the landscape. The towns along the river have also shared in the same general prosperity and present a pleasing spectacle with their clean well-kept paved streets and highways, modern stores and beautiful homes. Appropriations of the legislatures during years past have fixed the state's responsibility in cooperating with the property holders to protect these valuable properties and improvements along the river by the rectification of the river channel and the protection of its eroding banks.
