Demoreale Yat Bellefonte, Pa., October 4, 1912. Lehigh University President Joins New Assncaion LECTURE CAMPAIGN BEGINS Water Conservation Association of Pennsylvania Willing to Give Free illustrated Lecture on Floods to Any City Desiring One. Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 3.—Announce- ment was made at the general offices of the new Water Conservation As- sociation of Pennsylvania here today of the acquisition of Dr. Henry 8S. Drinker of South Bethlehem, presi- dent of Lehigh university, as a mem- ber of the executive committee. Dr. Drinker was chosen by the other mem- bers of the executive committee in ac- cordance with the authority given them by the bylaws of the association and he has accepted the appointment. The executive committee is now made up of A. B. Farquhar of York, president of the Pennsylvania branch of the National Conservation as- sociation; Dr. Drinker; John B. Eich- enauer and George S. Davison of the Flood Commission of Pittsburgh; C. La Rue Munscn of Williamsport and J. BE. Aldred of New York. Morris Knowles, a Pittsburgh engineer, who recently addressed the Engineers’ So- clety of Pennsylvania on “The State's Water Resources” at a meeting held here, is president of the association and W. B. Bennett of Harrisburg, a well known engineer, is secretary. The Water Conservation association is now engaged in an active state. wide educational campaign for the pur- pose of informing the people of the great asset that is being permitted to go to waste because of inadequate regulation. The purpose of the as. sociation is to prevent costly floods and at the same time provide for wise utilization of the streams by benefit. ting navigation, creating water power and improving the supply of water for domestic and manufacturing purposes. President Knowles is making a series of addresses in the principal cities of | the state for the purpose of stirring | up interest in the water question. He is urging the formation of committees ' similar to the Flood Commission of Pittsburgh which was created by the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce in various cities having flood troubles in! order that all such committees may combine for an effective fight in the next legislature. Mr. Knowles has agreed to give a free illustrated lecture In any city de- siring him to do so without cost of any kind. It was announced at the offices | of the Water Conservation association today that any board of trade, cham-. ber of commerce or similar organiza. tion desiring the services of Mr. Knowles should communicate with W. B. Bennett, Telegraph Building, Har- | risburg, Pa., at once as the schedule of meetings is being rapidly filled up. f | Control of State's Floods. It was only a small appropriation of $5,000 that was given by congress in the rivers and harbors bill for the in-| vestigation of a plan for a series of impounding reservoirs along streams in this state. The Lehigh valley is almost annu- | ally devastated to some extent ge! other by floods. The valleys of the Deleware, Susquehanna and Ohio! rivers are notomously the scene of disastrous freshets. But plans are now Root for the increase of the state's enues by the proper development of rivers and their forces. The valley of the Lehigh may not be included in the early work, but success in the bigger work will lead to work in the smaller territory. The $5,000 is to be spent by a board consisting of three army engineers, whose business it will be to investi- gate the system of impounding reser- voirs that is recommended in the re- port of the Flood Commission of Pittsburgh to prevent disastrous floods and give a money value to the water that causes sc much damage and dis- tress during the flood seasons. The engineers of the Flood Commission after an expenditure of a large sum of ‘money and a comprehensive study covering 2 period of four years assert that the reservoir system is feasible and practicable, but the United States government wishes a report from its own engineers and has delegated the task to the army corps. If the army engineers do what Is ex- pected of them, and that is stamp their approval upon the surveys of the Flood Commission, it means not only the approval of the project so far as the Monongahela and Allegheny ‘drainage basins are concerned, but also that storage reservoirs can be built in all parts of the state to pre: vent floods, to increase the navigable stage of the rivers and to develop ‘water power. The prevention of floods means the saving of property of individuals and communities. Increas- ing the navigability of streams means the bettering of business conditions. The development of water power means increased revenues to the state. This shows briefly the importance of the state's water rescurces.—Allen- town Call. * American named Short is “0 marry 8 countess.
