FLOOD COSTS EXPECTED TO BE SLASHED Per Cent Reduction Predicted After City and County Officials Meet. A 50 per cent reduction in flood prevention costs betweefi Morris and Raymond Sts., estimated by the Shank board of works at $2,000,000, was predicted by board of works members today, as result of accord in operations between city and county authorities. The opinion resulted from statements by board of works members and county commissioners concerning prices for land purchased by the Shank board of works, assailed by members of both bodies at a joint conference Wednesday at the city hall. Criticise Buying Land Particular criticism was leveled at acquisition of land for approaches of the Kentucky Ave. and Oliver Ave. bridges, which Cassius L.

Joint meeting of the bodies. I Conferences between the city civil engineer and the county surveyor. Immediate withdrawal by the county authorities of a suit to test constitutionality of the flood prevention law and payment of $177,000, the county’s share of past flood prevention projects.

JORDAN URGES COOPERATION Good Water Supply Subject of Indianapolis Man. Bu Timet Special LOUISVILLE. Jen. 14.—The task of supplying pure water In plentiful amount to modem cities Is not solely the task of the water company or water plant, declared Frank C. Jordan of Indianapolis, past president of the American Water Works Association, before the Kentucky-Termes-see section here today. A heavy obligation rests upon the water officials, he said, but the task Is one calling for the cooperation of many agencies. “It is not to be expected,” said Jordan, “that the water men alone can carry on the fight against fires and disease. City officials, civic bodies, school authorities and health boards must all cooperate. The supplying of a good potable water depends upon the procurement of a protected supply of raw water; the storage, filtration and chlorination of that water, and the necessary passing of it under the careful scrutiny of a laboratory -staff.
