take care Of necessary reconstruction.
Thirty-five buildings at Fort Brown,
near Brownsville, were demolished in
the storm that devastated Southwest

from Col. Guy Kent, commanding the
18th Cavalry at that post. Others were
damaged less seriously, making a total
Of 1874 buildings at the post in need Of

The estimated damage to buildings at
Fort Brown is $141,747, with $4,000
damage to contents. In addition. the
radio towers were demolished and 5000

TEN. Emergency repairs and replace

RIO GRANDE LEvEES
WITHSTAND FLOOD
U. S. Engineer in Charge as
Valley Sees Hope of Es-
Gaping Damage.
By the Associated Press.


HARLINGEN, Tex, September o.
Increasing optimism was manifest to-
day as it appeared probable the Lower
Rio Grande Valleys levee system would
Withstand the battering Of food waters
rushing down from Mexican tributaries.
The Federal Government has acted
to insure adequate funds and man
power to protect the huge levees and
floodways against breaks. Hundreds of
men we're guarding the earthworks.
Secretary Of the Interior Ickes Or
dered Mai. Edwin H. Marks, district
move relieved valley residents for their
own funds for such work were virtually
exhausted.
Another factor Frightening the situa-
tion was a report of engineers the food
apparently would not approach In
severity the one which smashed levees
and inundated thousands Of acres Of
agricultural land last year.
The Rio Grande was out Of its normal
banks and flooding lowlands along the
Hidalgo-Starr County line, but 1t had
not affected one acre In the developed
section of the valley.
The Hood came as an aftermath to
the destructive tropical hurricane and
rain deluge which lashed the lower val
ley early in the week, causing some
$40, 900, 900 damage. The storm brought
death to "a persons. left hundreds in
1ured and thousands in need Of relief
Engineers Of the International Boun-
dairy Commission reported the river had
receded more than two feet at Roma
about a foot at Rio Grande City, and
that the San Juan and Salado Rivers,
draining the Mexican watershed, appar-
emily already had dumped most Of their
excess flow.
