APPRAISAL

Administrative Historical

The recent flooding problems experienced by the state have become an important governmental issue. A record of the actions by the government to solve the problem is of obvious long-term value. While these records may be retained elsewhere, it is not certain that they are being preserved. As a result, a permanent retention is now recommended.
