The request for an engineering

er v. y. (Red) Ramsey who said
residents at Brownwood, Lake-
wood and Wooster had asked that
a levee be built to prevent a re-
peat of Hurricane Carla’s devas-

Jensen said the army engineers

by a’ flood control district and jf
it is determined at a public hear-
ing that ti* stuity is wanted by
property owners. The county must
furnish engineers with a prelim-

ty’s reasons for asking that the
study be made.
A detailed study which tells the

Commissioner W. Kyle Chap-
man said any study of storm pro-
tection needs should include the
county’s entire Galveston Bay
shoreline, because extensive dam-
age was also caused there by the
hurricane.
Commissioner E. A., (Squatty)
Lyons agreed that the feasibility
study should include all storm dan-
ger areas, but he said it would
not be practical to build a sea-
wall along the entire bayfroflt.

Dr. Pitzer predicted about 80

Already Baytown is beginning to
