No attempt has been made to estimate tho property, damage, but it is certain to run into millions of dollars. Because of the continued swollen condition of three streams which caused the flood, the work of recover ing bodies is progressing slowly. Great piles of driftwood which have lodged in trees and against bridges, when removed, it is feared, will reveal ad ditional dead. Many bodies also are believed to have floated down stream and may never be accounted for. Relief work and sanitary precautions are well under way. A thoroughly or ganized relief committee has begun caring for flood victims and health officers are engaged in a rigid clean up of the city. Reports coming, from outlying sec tions confirm the fear that the flood is the worst in the city’s history. The streets in some instances have been swept clean —- almost, their entire length. Houses in the southern part of the city were lifted from their foun dations and piled one upon another, or, In some cases, driven entirely through adjoining buildings. Dead an imals line the banks of the streams. The flood waters from the Sap An tonio river and from Alazan creek and small tributaries inundated an area approximately two miles long by one-half mile wide, including the heart of the business section and part of the residence section along River ave nue and adjacent streets as well as the thickly populated west side, where thousands of Mexicans are homeless, and the dead not yet counted. Such structures as the Brady build ing, Wolff and Marx department stores, Stowers, St. Mary’s church school buildings,- the St. Anthony hotel, the Elks club, formerly the Travis club, several hospitals, the Central Tele phone exchange, the city hall and po lice and fire headquarters and count less other structures along the low- lying river valley were in the path way of the flood.
