Description
“An average of 118 men on WPA Project No. 5416 were engaged during the month in clearing the overflow channel of the Feather River north of Marysville and near Nicolaus. SRA Transient Camp No. 7 in the Sutter Basin furnished an average of 48 men for work on the east levee of Sutter By-pass, at Pumping Plant No.1 and No.2 and at the Sutter maintenance headquarters. It was impossible to work, in the Tisdale By-pass during this period on account of overflow.”
