Run lacks Report of the New York state Flood Control Commission for the period February 22 1926 to February 1 1937 the First Report and Report for the Period February 1 1937 to March 15 1938: Third Report. Following the disastrous July 7-9 1935 floods the State Flood Control Commission was created "to assist in the institution and consummation of a Federal long range program of flood control and regulation of flood waters within the State." The six Reports to the Legislature of New York State detail the activities of the Commission for each period including work with the United States Corps of Engineers on flood control projects including dams dikes channelization etc illustrated with photographs and maps. In 1936 the United States Congress passed the Flood Control Act of 1936 the first piece of legislation providing for flood relief throughout the country and recognized that need was a proper activity of the Federal Government. The impetus was both the need to mitigate flood-prone areas as well as to create work relief during the Great Depression. The US Army Corps of Engineers which had largely focused on navigation needs became the primary agency for the planning and designing of flood control projects working in conjunction with State level agencies. This group of Reports details the early period of cooperation of New York State in the creation of reservoir levee and channelization projects. ; Legislative Document; Ex-Library; 6 vols pages . various paperback
