County Supervisor Mike Antonovich said Tuesday that he intends to ask the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to re-examine its rules barring dwellings from flood control zones.
A Times story Tuesday reported the problems of Eddie J. Milligan, manager of the Hansen Dam Equestrian Center, who has moved onto the property two mobile homes in which he and his daughter plan to live. Milligan leases the land from the city of Los Angeles, which leases it from the corps.
