GALVESTON, Texas, Dec 9-Today
for the first time it became possible to
estimate the toll of life and property
taken by the great floods of the Brazos
and Colorado rivers and their tribu-
taries in their eight-day sweep across
this state. The best general estimates
are these:
Forty thousand square miles of terri
tory have been laid waste.
Two hundred and thirty persons have
beeen killed.
One hundred million dollars in prop
erty is lost.
Twenty-Five cities, towns and villages
have contributed 10 the death roll.
Thirty-eight other towns have been
flooded, although without known loss of
life.
More than 100 bodies Of the dead
have been recovered within the last
eighteen hours.
It will be many more days before the
full details can be learned. The
