to the maximum flood of record, which reached a gage height of 57.9 feet. Necessary sewer and drainage structures, pumping plants, floodgates, ramps, and railroad and street modifications are also included in the project. The project was authorized by the Flood Control Act approved August 18, 1941 (H. Doc. 479, 76th Cong., 2d sess.). The estimated cost of new work, made in 1939, is $13,500,000 for construction and $3,263,000 for lands and damages. Local cooperation.-See page 5 for requirements. Local interests have given informal assurances that the requirements of local cooperation will be complied with. Operations and results during fiscal year.-Location surveys, geologic investigations, hydraulic studies, foundation explorations, and design layouts were under way in connection with preparation of plans. The costs, all for new work, were $60,941.07. The expenditures were $65,465.83. Condition at end of fiscal year.-Location surveys, geologic investigations, hydrologic studies, and design work were under way. Total costs to June 30, 1945, all for new work, were $161,098.69. The total expenditures were $160,558.39. Proposed operations.-The balance unexpended on June 30, 1945, amounting to $196,441.61, will be applied to accounts payable June 30, 1945, in the amount of $540.30, and to continuation of investigations, surveys, design, and preparation of contract plans and specifications. Additional funds in the amount of $500,000 can be profitably expended on this project during the fiscal years 1946 and 1947 ($200,000 of this total in 1946), for the continuation of the preparation of plans and initiation of construction.
