night by very heavy rainfall, and
a great many homes were flooded,
water getting at least two feet deep
in some of the houses. Most of the
families are supplied with water
from dug wells, and these were con-
taminated by the flood water; not
alone from the more or less natural
pollution involved in such situa-

contents of some outside closets.
