L. Gowdy, GreenB co.; Frank Clevenger, Clinton; C. W. Hoffman,' Hamilton; Charles B. De­ chant, Warren, and Judge White, Clermont. The meeting was postponed from a previous date to permit the legal pub­ lication of the plan, and it is expected that after a hearing in which testi­ mony is submitted by various in­ dividuals and associations, the court will render its decision in the matter of authorizing the establishment of the district.. After this is authorized, the nqxt step would be the procure­ ment of funds' from the federal public works organization, the proponents of of the project desiring this source of expenditure rather than obtaining funds from taxation. The plan is to construct four dams along the Little Miami river and its tributaries. It is claimed that, by this improvement the stage of the Ohio- river will be reduced from five to 10 feet and that all territory in the Lit­ tle Miami section will be. protected from inundation. Certain sections of Greene county are vitally affected, particularly the neighborhood of Spring Valley. However, that is only one section that is affected regularly each year during spring freshets or heavy rains. The improvement will be beneficial, it is asserted, to Warren, Clermont, Hamilton, Clinton and Greene counties. W. C. Culkins, representing the Ohio River Improvement association, addressed the court on the benefits to be derived from the proposed con­ struction of dams and the impounding of waters during flood periods. against Charles Bennett.
