an hour getting the engines in

Finally when the engine was run

off perfectly. A second plane for
Brownsville followed a few minutes
later.

Income Tax Filling
u. S. Golfers Above
Treasury Estimate

WASHINGTON, March 14.-(P)-
Income taxes pouring into the
treasury vaults from all sections of
the country are exceeding esti-
mates made by treasury officials.
Secretary Mellon said today he
felt there not only would be no
deficit for the fiscal year 1929, but
there would be a comfortable sur
plus.
First payments of the income tax
on March Is of last year totaled
S15,137,752 and officials have ex-
pected that this amount would be
exceeded this year. The corporation
taxes this year are one and one-half
per cent lower. than they were in
1927 when that tax was Is 1-2 per
cent. 1t is expected, however, that
the lower rate would bring in a
greater return. Total income taxes
collected in the calendar year of
1923 were So, 1859 AT, 231.
Secretary Mellon said that the in
crease over what had been expected
on Wednesday amounted to Sd. OOO.-
600 more than had been estimated.

CHICAGO, March 14.-(P-Two
days of spring had created flood
havoc in Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and
Nebraska today.
Many hundred acres of farm land
were flooded; streets and buildings
in some places we're filled with
water; rail and highway traffic was
disrupted, and bridges were torn
away.
Rain and rising temperatures.
melting the winters last SHOWS and
breaking up the ice. had turned the
Mississippi's tributaries into ice
glutted torrents. The Mississippi it.
self was rising but gave no immedi-
ate cause for alarm.
Hundreds of men worked on bikes
while others watched ice move
ments. prepared to use dynamite
wherever bridges were threatened.
Virtually all streams in northwest
Missouri and Southern Iowa we're
out of their banks today. Several
towns were partially isolated and
many thousands of dollars damage
had been done.
Eastern Nebraska faced a serious
menace with river overlooking in
several places and ice jams batter
ing bridges. The Platte river was on
a rampage. rising for a time at the
rate of three feet an hour and
threatening to change its channel.
The Balena river. in Illinois, had
risen early today to it's highest point
in history and had flooded the
town of Galena. Most of the bust
ness section could be reached only
by boat.
Government officers at Memphis
said the addition of heavy spring
rains could bring about a perilous
condition on the Mississippi river
but the danger from the present
spring .freShets alone was slight.
A squadron of bombing planes
was ordered from Fort Riley. Kans.
to tour the Missouri river, which was
also gorged with ice and threatening
to overflow.

The road builders came along, dug a ten foot ditch alongside filled with the dirt from vbgku the dirt road for a fill on the street; tore up Sales garden, toppled over Cornelius Jacob sons house and left 1t a wreck: cut considerable property from lots, conf1scating land without due process of law. Tn some spots water action is undermin- ing the street and shooting the dirt back into the ditch.
 From present condition of the finances of the city the road cannot be completed this year. When the Mccarthy party was here members of the Commer- ;ial Club were ashamed to offer
