Then after the grip of winter had
been felt here for nearly a week,
there was a sudden reversal of
weather conditions on Tuesday, and
a spring-like atmosphere together
with drizzling rain within a few
hours removed all traces of what
had been a record six-inch snow.
The sudden thaw brought flooded
conditions in all lowlands, and early
Tuesday evening the Big and Little
Riley creeks left their banks in the
lower parts of Bluffton.
All of Harmon field was under
water, and about six inches of water
stood over College avenue road ad

TOWN HAS HIGH
WATER TUESDAY
Big and Little Riley Creeks
Overflow Banks; Traffic
Is Halted
Operation of College Heating
Plant interrupted We'd
nesday Morning

Big and Little Riley creeks which
suddenly overfowed their banks late
Tuesday afternoon and just as
quickly subsidized early Wednesday
morning gave Bluffton its nearest
approach to flood conditions in recent
years.
So suddenly did the water rise
that the situation unexpectedly de-
veloped serious aspects for short
time.
Service from the Bluffton college
heating plant was suspended from
midnight Tuesday until o'clock
Wednesday morning on account of
failure of the pumps at the heating
plant These pumps are operated
during high water periods to pump
water out of the plant which seeps
in from Little Riley creek.
RESUME HEAT SERVICE WEDNESDAY
Because of interruption of the
service, college buildings, dormitories
and several private residences served
by the plant were without heat until
the middle of the forenoon on Wed
nesday.
With heating service resumed,
regular class schedules were started
Wednesday morning at 1915 o'clock,
it was stated by college officials.
The College road was closed to
traffic for several hours Tuesday
night when water over the road
Just north of the bridge on the
Henry Huber farm one mile north
of town made travel conditions haz-
ardous. The road was open Wednes-
day morning.
HARMON FIELD INUNDATED
Harmon field, Bluffton's summer
recreation spot and athletic field was
completely under water Tuesday
night as was also the East Colleg,
avenue road approach to the field
The concrete stadium on the fielt
stood like an island above the mudd,
swirling water. No damage was re
ported.
The flood which covered lowland
along both creeks came from tn,
heavy snow which fell Sunday anc
melted rapidly with the coming o.
warmer weather, Tuesday. Coldel
weather Tuesday night served to af
fectually check the flood condition
and Wednesday both creeks wer
again flowing nearly normal.

INVESTIGATE FIRE
PROTECTION HERE
Bluffton Council Plans to
Scrutinize Set-up This
Spring
Conference Started by Council
Committee; Expect to
Make Tests

Whether Bluffton has at present
adequate fire protection will be the
subject of a thorough going investi-
cation by the town council this
spring, according to plans now be-
ing made.
Scope of the investigation, it is
understood will include the entire
present fire-fighting equipment, best
practices in its use, the question of
water supply and pressure and re-
concentrations for improvement
looking toward strengthening of
the towns protection against fire.
The matter of general overhauling
of the present fire protection set-up
will be under direction of the coun-
ellis fire and light committee con-
sisting of Arnin Hauenstein and DR..
E. w. Basinger.
CONFERENCES UNDER WAY
Preliminary conferences on the
matter have already been held with
Fire Chief Guy Corson. Other meet
ings in the future will be arranged
with the Board of Public Affairs in
charge of the municipal electric light
and waterworks plant which fur
nishes water for fire fighting.
With the opening of spring wealth
er tests in various parts of town
will be made to determine the ade-
quacy of present fire fighting IA
cilities. Plans are to run hose lines
from street hydrants and duplicate
as nearly as possible conditions
which would be met in actual coping
with fire.
During these tests special atten-
ton will be given to the matter of
a sufficient water supply and pres
sure. 1t is possible that a repre-
sentative of the State Board of Fire
Underwriters may be invited here
TO participate in the tests.
FIRE PROTECTION PROGRAM
Results from the conference and
tests are expected to form the basis
for a program of fire protection for
the municipality to be pushed by
the council.
Action of the council in investi-
eating fire protection here followed
the presentation of petition sew
eral weeks ago from residents of
Bentley road, asking better fire pro
lection.
The petition brought to head
the matter of fire protection for out
lying districts within the corporate
limits which residents of these Sec
tions claim is inadequate.
