AFL-:CIO contriQ,utions to flood relief victims clini.bed . 1ear 'the $100,000 mark this week.

C. J. Haggerty; chairman of the A,FL-CIO Flood Relief Committee, released a list of unions vvhich have contributed directly to committee headquarters.

Haggerty again urged unions to send their contributions to the ,AFL.-CIO Flood Relief Committee, 995 JVIarket Street, .oonl. 810, ·-Sari· Francisco' 3.

··' Federation .. Weekly Ne,~slettel~ ·listed 276 · unions and cottncils -- that have c.thus far · contributed.

; :~ .. He reminded .thilt all checks should be made in favor of .. the committee. -

neighbor·hood of $7,000,000. The dam in addition tp flood con­

trol, ~~tould provide ·ctomestic water supplies for the rapidly expanding· needs of Sonoma an Marin coun-ties, .R nd irrigation water. 1

From ca.lcu!ati.on that · a Coyote I Dam would have redueed the flood . cr est at ·Guerneville by two feet. it can be seen that a dam on Dry I Creek would have resulted in even . Jarger reductio!~ in the peak· below -~-Healdsburg where the maximum flood damage occurred. . · ·

Since 1949 water costs have 'I

risen considerably, and the lAck of water supply has retarded .si.tbclivis­ion ~md industria-l .grovdf1.
