W. ■ A. in The Celle** Auditorium 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. DR.

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.

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.
