TEXAS FLOOD COVERED 5000 SQUARE MILES
Estimates Made BY Director of WeatH'
err Bureau Places the Losses at
More Than $8,500,000.

Three thousand square miles OF
Texas were inundated by the recent
overflOwS of the Brazos, Guadalupe,
Colorado, Unity and San Antonio
rivers, according to estimates that
have been made By DR.. B. Bunne-
meyer, director for the district of Tex
as for the United States weather serV-
ice.
The reports that have been received
by him from sections affected by the
floods are, in his opinion, still far
from complete and many of them are
indefinite and vague, making 1t impos-
sible to arrive at accurate figures
showing losses.
ThUse reports that he has received,
however, show the aggregate losses in
Cured to amount to more than $S,-
100000, exclusive Of losses incurred
by one of the larger railway lines that
was considerably tied up as result
and exclusive of large losses believed
to have occurred IN sections not fully
covered by the report
Three railroad lines and one tele-
phone company reported aggregate
losses amounting to $2,559,5O0. These
were the only railway lines that made
any report at all. One of these roads
reported that it had suffered losses
amounting to $5,O0O,OOO from floods af-
fecting its lines during the past few
months.
The damages done by the various
rivers, exclusive of damages to rail
roads and large public service cor
porations, have been estimated as fol-
lows, subject to further revision with
the rnraint nf more rannrtC.
