WIND AVERTS ANOTHER
SEWER OVERFLOW,
Yesterdays Conditions for a Time Were Fa-
vorabe for Repetition of Damaging Floods
Resulting From Inadequate Drains.

St Louis was saved from another sewer
food Yesterday by Il northwest wind-and
by nothing else.
When business was suspended al the city
Hall at noon. employees OF the Sewer De-
partment went home filed with apprehen-
sion, and expecting to be called out on
emergency duty before nightfall. At that
hour all of the small sewers were running
full and the larger ones were hardly able
to carry off their accumulated burdens.
This was due to the rainfall of about one
inch in the previous forty hours.
AT noon the Weather Bureau reported
very heavy rains at Cairo and points di-
rectly south of st. Louis. and said the
clouds were travelling this way at rapid
rate. This is what caused the apprehen-
sion.
An added rainfall of even one-half inch
less than a third of what fell at Cairo
would have flooded Mill Creek Valley. cer-
tainly. and perhaps other sections of the
city. 1t would have increased the dscOm-
forts Of thousands of citizens. and been the
cause of further lawsuits against the city.
At $50 p. M. Doctor Hyatt reported that
danger of a heavy downpour was past, and
Commissioner Hermann and his men
breathed easier.
The forecast official explained that be-
tween noon and O'Clock wind had come
out of the northwest and detected the
heaviest rain clouds out of their original
course. Louisville was getting the rain that
st. Louis was due 10 receive. Old BOreaS
had come to the rescue OF the Worlds Fair
City. and the danger was averted FOR the
time being.

st. Louis should not be left so COM
pletely at the mercy of the elements said
Mr.. Hermann. land should lose no time in
providing against such emergencies the
present. The remedy is enlargement. or
duplication OF certain sewers. Either is sS-
pensiye. but very necessary work.
Mill Creek sewer claims first attention in
this respect. 1t is only one-half the ca
pacity it ought TO be. and the flooding of
streets and cellars along some parts of its
iine-mostly near Choutsau and Ohio ave-
nues-after heavy rainfalls is the natural
result. For the greater part of its length
this sewer is now in fairly good repair, but
at certain points il is not In condition TO
stand the strain of overlooking. About one
mile of wood bottom needs to be replaced
much of which is sprung up along the CEN
ter line. from four to six inches, and many
cross-timbers are broken. This sewer will
continue to absorb large sums OF money
in order to put it in good repair

Joseph Schuler, driver of the Irving Dairy

driving west in Henrietta street opposite
No. 1929. when his horse suddenly went
down in the mire. Schuler thought the horse
was baking. He whipped it. but, plunge
and jerk as the horse might. it continued
TO sink deeper and deeper Finally. when
Schuler left the wagon, it had sunk to the
bed and the horse TO its stomach. In less
than ten minutes mire had reached the
horses shoulders. and it looked as if the
animal would be swallowed UP.
Schuier tried in every way to pull the
horse out. but he was Unsuccessful. and, as
a last resort he turned in a fire alarm at
compton and Lafayette avenues. In three
minutes three fire engines and a hook and
was no blaze in sight. ard Schuler had con-
siderable difficulty In convincing the fire
men that he wanted them to dig out q
horse instead of throwing water on a fire.
When they failed to find any blaze they
repaired TO the horse, which was still strug-
Cling to keep its head in the air.

kind in the city. The frescee work is of the
highest order and sufficiently bright to give
a cheerful appearance to the room. The
lighting is unique, in that every lamp is
hidden from view and still the diffusion of
light Is perfect.
