Bad Conditions Prevail on West
North Temple Street at
This Time.
FIFTY MEN AND TEAMS
WORKING on EMBANkMENT
If Warm Weather Keeps Up
FI0od VIII Grow Worse;
Preparing TO Move.

The food conditions on West North
Temple street were not improved on
Wednesday, IN fact, they were rather
worse, and the indications arc that
with the continuance of warm weather
there will be further trouble.
Early Wednesday morning City
Creek overnowcd its banks between
Sixth and Seventh West. thus extend
ing the flooded district another block
stream of water in some places near
ly five inches deep is now courslng
down the south side Of West North
and street car traffic is entirely sus.
pended from Sixth West 10 Ninth
West, to which point the Oakley car
runs.
Some fifty men and teams are en-
ployed by Street Supervisor Raleigh
in throwing mp cmbanSmcnts to pre-
vent further encroachments by tho
creek. For nearly three blocks stakes
have been driven aud placed TO main.
tain the dirt which has been thrown
up TO form protection wall. In some
places the surface Of the stream is two
feet higher than the sidewalk, and
many of the houses sit in the lots low
er than the sidewalk grade, so that if
control of the stream is lost the flood
ing of the residences with much dam
age VIII surely follow. Many Of the
residents are already prepared for an
emergency, and have taken up their
carpets and are ready TO make a hasty
exit, In most Of the Yards of houses
on the south side seepage water has
come to the surface. In some places
it is several inches deep.
Councilmen Visit District
The street committee of the city
council visited the district Wednesday
afternoon to inspect the emergency
work and obtain some idea of the dam
age that has been done.
Some of the residents claim that the
grading Of the street is the cause of
the flooding. When the sidewalk grade
was established the street had to be
graded to give residents access to their
premises for teams, Some aver that
the sidewalk grade was too low and
when the street was cut protection
from tho creek was reduced, 1t is
claimed that this was done against the
advice of the street committee and
the street supervisor, but large ma
jority of the residents desired it, At
one point one of the 12-inch boards
which run along the side CT the creek
was removed and this, 1t is claimed,
has aggravated the condition. But fur
ther east, where no grading has been
done, the water has bureted from its
channel and flooding prevails, so that
the condition is general.
The water this spring is exceptional
~ high. Old residents aver that not
since 1875 has such n volume of water
poured down the channel of the creek
Seven years ago there was flooding in
this district, but it was caused by
cloudburst far up in the canyon, bring
ing the stream down with rush. An
other condition which aggravates the
situation is the fact that the Jordan
river is so swollen that it reaches to
the level of the creek where the lat.
ter emPties into the river, and this
backs up the water and seriously him
ders the draining,
