Dayton, March 29.-The city water
works which has been out of commits
sion since Tuesday, was restored at
noon today, relieving what had been
one of the most serious phases Of the
situation here. George r. Burba, sec
retary to Governor Cox, telegraphed
the chief executive that the situation
is rapidly improving, that ninety bod
les had been recovered and the work
Of digging corpses from the mud and
debris Is progressing.
Official reports and the identification
Of flood victims are pouring in stead
lily today. AS fast as bodies are iden-
titled. they are buried. Over 1000
militiamen, under command of Adju-
tant General Wood, have the afflicted
sections thoroughly patrolled and lit
tie disorder is reported. The city is
divided into four military zones and
1t is expected the federal government
will take control of Dayton both from
military and sanitation standpoint,
when Secretary of War Garrison ar
rives.
Digging bodies from the mud was the
chief work of the rescuing parties, the
waters having drained off the more
flooded area. Brilliant sunshine threw
an uncanny light over the distorted
scenes in the areas where the homes
Of $4,000 people are gone.
Almost any street view shows
among the debris portions of houses,
pianos, household utensils and dead
horses in indescribable confusion. On
the north side of Dayton view, where
a relief station has been established
under martial law, thousands of
homeless acre gathered for food and
clothing. At least thirty were killed
when the Leonard building collapsed

the state troops on guard during the
early morning.
