Saturday Night
The Oconne River had barely re-
'urned to its bnnks after the heavy
rains of last week, when it was sent
on another rampage from excessive
rains Monday. A total of 5:16 inches
was recorded for the twenty-four
hour period.
Earlv Monday torrents of mins be-
pan falling and con‘inucd uniterrupt-
d thioughou' the -day until early
Tuesday, morning when a cloud burst
accompanied by terrific winds cli
maxed the storm that had brought
about large property damape through
cut the county.
The Oconr.e River began a steady
rire early Monday and reached its
height about noon Tuesday, thirty-
'' } u;ht fret bilnjj the peak of the ri*e.
The waters covered the road on the
west side of the bridge ard halted all
‘rnffic along *his route.
While every stream in the county
wan out of its banks and many road*
were covered with traffic molested
in pratically every direction, none
of the water reached the height ii had
attained the week before when the
-B'*n fell for more than fifty hours
with a record of over eipht inches.
The rain fall for the last seven
duy» is probably unprecendented in
his section, nlthouph the damape was
not as great as the freshets of lnte
summer in 1928.
Clear weather Wednesday broupht
a rapid fall in the streams and a
continued fair weather prediction
has been sent out from weather
bureaus.
The damage in :he county has not
been estimated but crop and road
damape probably take a toll of sev-
--oral thousand dollars.

The Commissioners in session Tues

many bridges and roads still under
water. Camp Creek below the Asy

point sumerged for .hrec days and
the Scottsboro road bridge in the pro-
c:ss of construction was also in dang

The City Water plant remained
high and dry during the recent rains
that sent the waters of Fishing
Creek out of their banks and into
flood state inundhting much land for
hundreds of yards on either side.
The floods of last September cov
ered the plant and male the water
situation a grave problem for several
days in the city. Superintendent P.
E. Williams presented to the coun
cil a plan to prevent further danger
from high water and the council ex
pended $5,000 :o carry out this plan.
The high waters of la^t week and
this week failed to stop the opera
tion of the water plant and while a
flood was feared, the precautionary
| methods employed saved tho plant
from high wa‘.cr damage.

SUPREME COURT
RULING SITED
“Baby E-oat) Plan” for Paving
Upheld in Ccnrt and Protest
Must be Made Fifteen Days
After Work is Ordered
In a ruling handed down last week,
the Supreme Court decided that all
-•bjectors to paving assessment un
der the “baby bond plan” must start
litigations within fifteen days after
the work is ordered, or be regarded *
os acquiescing.
The petition filed by R. L. Wall
and C. F. Fowler last week to pre
vent the city from levying upon their
property to satisfy a paving assess
ment agonist their property, paved
under the "baby bond plan” attracted
attention to the ruling.
The paving in the city was begun
about two years ugo and was finish
ed b?t Juno. During that time only
one protest was filed, the records
show. The city fathers contend that
they have adhered strictly to the law-
in every respect and that property
holders will huve- to pay the price
assessed against their property with
out legal recourse.

XOX Tile, the invention of Mr.
