Commission at meeting yesterday de
cided to take hand in the matter TO
see il it could bring any pressure on

Commissioner A. J. Gignoux proposed
that the commission address letter TO

IL has slumbered for months, and before

The commissioners expressed the sen

l.. Tenney Peck of the company said
yesterday that he did not know when

Three Causes OF Flood

The flood had three causes. first,
was eloudburst on the mountains sew
eral miles above the town, occurring
the night before, the river beginning TO
rise In the early hours Of the morning.
Second, an embankment of sand
which had been formed at the mouth
Of the river by the action of incoming
waves from the sea and the outgoing
waters of the river.
Third, an unusually heavy swell com
ing In from the sea just at the time
the food waters from the land were
rushing down.
Water rose to the top of the banks
by 'clock IN the forenoon and il was
seen that an overflow was threatened
All the roadmen Of the district were
called out and set 10 work at the peril
Gus task Of clearing the sand from
the mouth Of the river. They were
successful at first, but the increasing
force of the waters from both sides
piled sand back again faster than the,
could remove it.
The Gotanda Hotel, near the river
were the first premises flooded. From
there the water moved on and engulfec
the district back Of the Ice works, the
telephone exchange, the Waimea Autt
Works and Bishop & Co. bank. An
other flood stream started up the road
to the right from the bridge towarc
the valley.
The water in the district around tn,
telephone exchange finally reached suel
height that II broke over the roat
and flooded the premises of J. McClel
Ian and proceeded on down to Hofgaart
& Co.'s store, the square in front, am
| to the court house. The residence prem
Uses of George Bertram and Deput,
Sheriff w. 0. TCrowell, across the road
were invaded by the water, despite tn
fact that they are considerably highe
than the surrounding country.
