This and other problems were given attention Tuesday morning by county and city officials. Standing on the log is Tracks it; Lreelc (tt s Flood control matters in the southern part of the county got a close look Tuesday by city and county officials. David I. Gardner, engineer in charge of flood control, said that the peak runoff in Little Cottonwood Creek is estimated of to reach 700 second-fee- t water, and that he plans to have the creek widened and deepened to handle that volume before the bid thaw set in at higher elevations. Last year, when snows were far below this year's park. Little Cottonwood overflowed its banks in many places. An inspection team which included Commissioner Marv Jen-soMayor Ray P. Greenwood of Murray, Henry Beckstead of Midvale, David Gardner, and William Kasworm viewed a considerable length of the creek eastward from the Murray city park. Thev reDorted that the creek ted is strewn with rocks, debris, fallen trees and limbs, roots, driftwood, and vast accumulations of silt. Willow trees have grown for years on the banks, crowding and restricting the watercourse. A bottleneck in this area could back up water for miles to the east, causing heavy flooding, washing out of roads and bridges, inundating of farm lands and homes. Gardner reported that he expects to have draglines, bulldozers, trucks, and other equipment at work at once to widen and deepen the watercourse, and remove debris and trees that impede the flow of water. "We expect to have to ton-ten- d of with 700 second-fee- t water when the runoff comes. That means we have to calculate the width and depth needed to handle that volume of water, and then excavate until we get it. If we don't get it. we can look for trouble," Gardner said. Mayor Beckstead said that li ' Jenson, and Mayor Henry Beckstead, Establishment Robbed Saturday Night S udoe S there is little danger of runoff water reaching Midvale, but that many areas to the east of Midvale could have serious trouble if the stream is not cleared. He noted that a stream of water in the Sandy area might flow into Midvale, but Commissioner.
