Morgan City, and below it is still
rising. The crest of the flood is
about Franklin tonight. Conditions
here are almost ideal, with little
sickness and comparative quiet, but
when the folks go back to what is
left of their homes there is almost
certain to be an epidemic of such
proportions as the country has sell
dom SEEN The country stinks from
all kinds of pollution and dead ami
mails. The decaying crop adds to
the stencil. Cattle, horses, mules,
chickens, hogs, quail, deer and bear
are floating in the flood by the tens
,of thousands and every well is filled
with the polluted water.
Lafayette is almost surrounded
by water. We are running regular
schedule of boats between here and
Breaux Bridge on the Teche. The
boats come within about one mile OF
Lafayette on the public highway and
follow the road all the way They
pass right by our swimming pool
which is nine feet under water Sew
eral automobiles were caught in the
flood a week ago Sunday night and
the boats still go right over the top
of the marooned cars. We expect to
open the pool about July 1st. All of
the buildings are still there as far as
we can determine, and If our light
plant isn't ruined we can open up
about ten days after the water re-
cedes. If it is ruined we will have
to run a line from the city plant to
furnish lights.
