Show Are We Preparing For The Flood? SWIRLING flood waters may soon be pouring into basements base-ments of homes and into commercial establishments in this southeast area unless intelligent preventive actionis taken now. Since our southeast communities are situated near the mountains where there are tremendous deposits of snow, and since there are many streams already flowing through this section, we are in a much greater danger than downtown Salt Lake. Most of us remember the torrents of water which O pounded through Sugar House many years ago and caused so much damage. After our unusually heavy winter the possibilities possi-bilities of another flood are very great. Floods are costly to everyone. They are also unnecessary if proper steps are taken. Let's start laying our plans now to prevent a flood before the spring thaw sets in. Let's consult con-sult the experts to help us do it sensibly and effectively. |
