FLOOD BUREAU"
Established BY w. C. A., To Receive
Bulletins From Above And Relay
Them To Points Below

A Flood Bureau" has been estab-
! lishcd as an additional branch OF the
Wheeling Commercial association. Let
tiers were sent yesterday to every COM
mercial body and heads Of all the mu.
inequalities between this city and
Huntington, asking that the secretar-
les Of the commercial bodies and re-
liable individuals Of the smaller towns
be named 10 whom the flood news may
be sent, who in turn will notify the
people. The local Commercial associa-
ton will make arrangements to have
similar bodies in the Ohio valley be-
tween this city and Pittsburgh fur
nish flood bulletins for local tnforma.
ton and which will be rclayed TO all
points down the river.
It is believed that if such system is
perfected it will save thousands OF
dollars worth Of property and on the
other hand prevent unnecessary re-
moval Of merchandise and household
goods when wild flood reports are cir
culated.
The local association will receive
bulletins hourly during an impending
flood from all points above for infor-
nation of the public by telephone.
