Show . AGAIN NORMAL After ten days of strenuous labor- by city, county and state road departments and many of , the citizens, Bingham Canyon is approaching normal conditions again after the floods of August 11th and 12th. All roads and streets have been cleared except Markham Gulch. Those damaged by the floods have, in most cases taken their losses and inconvenience as a matter mat-ter of unavoidable consequence and have gone about the task of restoration optimistically. Hundreds Hun-dreds of homes and scores of business busi-ness houses were damaged but in most cases the loss was not so very great. Perhaps the damage to the city water system was the greatest single Ions with that of the Utah Copper Co. hospital' second. The former has now been restored and re-furnished. Other major sufferers were residents resi-dents of Markham and Carr Fork where homes were inundated with mud and stone. Road gangs are still working on the right-of-way of the Bingham Bing-ham highway although the road i has bee,h open for four or five jdays. |
