Baker The first fall meeting of the Valley Industrial Commission was held at the Kent City Hall on the evening of Sept- ember 26, 1960. This ves the finish of our first year as an active group from the four Valley Cities, working to solve our common problems and speed the indust- rialization of the Valley. Election of officers was the first order of business. Our new officers are John Strander, from Tukwila, Chair- _ man; Jack Thompson, Auburn, Vice Chair- man and Noel Bicknell of Kant as Sec- retary. Several reports were covered during the evening but perhaps one of most interest at this time wes the Green- Duwamish Valley drainage problem. Throughout the past fifty years there has been an effort by many groups and individuals to bring about the building of a dam at Eagle Gorge, so that the Valley would be forever free from floods that have ravished our Valley lands., from the beginning of time. Some two or three years ago, when work on the Howard A. Hansen Dam was begun, many people believed that this, at la•t, would assure us ,of a Valley that could be used. by agricul- -cure and industry without fear of floods. It is true that, with the completion of the Dam, vie will have solved our flood problem, but there still remains the drainage that will become more a- cute with the completion of the Dam. At this time we normally have one or two floods each year. 'when they come the river overflows, dikes break and the Valley is often completely under ,:rater. After the flood is over the river falls to a low level again and the Va3ley, with few exceptions drains, as the water finds its way back to the channel. When the Dam is completed the river will no longer reach these extreme peaks and then recede. Heavy runoff water, in the rainy season wil be i imounded in the vast vrr: tershed at the Page 3 CHUFCH NEWS TUKALA• BLPTIST CHURCH Rev.
