Houston, Tex, Sept. 14.-With
communication into the central Tex
as flood district being re-established,
loss of life and property damage as
result of Friday nights flood still
mounts slowly. -
Tonight it had been estimated that
an area extending north as far as
Georgetown, south to San Antonio,
and below, west to San Marcos, east
to Calvert, and Bryan, or approx
mately 10000 square miles, had al
ready felt the effect of flood waters
About eight more persons, mostly
tenants in the lowlands, are known to
be dead, with a possibility CT this be
ing increased when more accurate re.
) prots are available The list OF
known dead totals 45. Property dam.
age is almost beyond estimate. Il
IS believed the loss OF growing crops
which have been borne upon the crest
of the waters as they rushed steadily
toward the gulf, might run into tht
r'iilicns of dollars. Loss of livestocl
, viii account for hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars more, while tenan
houses, fences and outhouses with
few dwellings,, will probably run int
the tens of thousands.
Taking all previous reports int
! consideration, it is safe to say tha
hundreds of square miles Of centra
, Texas has sustained irreparable loss
es from floods, and that more south
ern sections are now menaced by tn
on-rushing waters.
