Bring Threat Of Floods Here

Riley overfowed and inundated part
of Harmon Field. Little Riley was
over its banks in low places bordering
the college campus most of the day,
Sunday. Water reached the founda-
ton of the heating plant but did not
rise high enough to get into the build
ing.
Had the rain continued thru Sun
day night, last years flood condition
likely would have been paralleled, but
it turned into fine mist soon after
nightfall and gradually disappeared
ending the flood danger.
Streams were out of their banks at
low places thruout the entire district
Sunday, and many fields were under
water. In a few scattered locations
the water was across roads, but nc
damage was done and traffic was not
halted.
Subsiding waters on Monday ended
the threat of flood conditions, at least
for the present.

Bluffton residents Saturday night

rapid rising waters of Big and Little
Riley creeks, but altho the streams
overfiowed their banks at some points
they failed to attain a serious flood

Heavy rainfall, augmented by melt
