GLENDALE BUSINESS MEN GUARD AGAINST
 ANOTHER BIG RAIN

GLENDALE. Aug. 22-All indica- tions point toward clear weather for the next 24 hours in the Glendale district. However, the merchants and business men are not t-.AiaS any chances and in accordanos VsSl th.s plan they have provided on ample amount of sand on the sidewalks. so that dam may be thrown up with haste and thus protect the stores. Rain fell in Glendale fin a steady down pour for a number of hours Sunday and as consequence the town suffered another deluge. and many of the places of business were threatened with another flood. The streets were made almost impassable. Now that indications point to some clear weather rapid work is making great headway in setting things right. owners of places where trees were blown down are busily engaged in cleaning up the debris and in many instances where the trees were only partly pulled up: such as or chards. they have been reset in the hope that they will live. The tele- phone companies are busily engaged in replacing the wires that were blown down, and buildings that were partly unroofed are being repaired. School Board Mssts The members of the Glendale grammar school board met Monday afternoon to try and determine a time when the school will open. In all probability the opening of school will be delayed one week so that the books that were stored in the audi torium can be salvaged from the wreck. Also. in view of the danger that will arise from the wrecked structure of the auditorium and also because of the present financial con | dition. the part now standing will be raxed.
