Th hill In ilollurs nml cent for
tli donth and dehtruution ipsuUIhk
from the failure of the St. Francis
dam. may become unwritten hut
costly items on the accounts of
,os Angeles water uhcih.
This was decided partially yes
terday, when officers of the muni
cipal water bureau announced that
I lie organization would shoulder
the full rcKponsihillty of nu-fting
t lie entire hill of damage-
1 imuiUing to millions of dollars.
The o.'.icials, following a meeting
, ...i Aiayr Ceorjfe t'ryer. city
t.iuitclmen and leading Los An
neles hanlvers, said that responsi
bility would he met hy short term
loans advanced by banks with the
revenues of the bureau pledged as
security, a bond Issue if the su
preme court holds such an action
legal, and an increase In water
rotes.
The proposed financial plan will
be submitted to the Los Angeles
Clearing House association .Mon
day for its approval.
The inquiry, by a coroner's jury
into the collapse of the dam with
its resulting death toll of probably
4.11) was adjourned yesterday until
Monday. The delay was due to
the fact that engineers employed
by the district attorney to investi
gate the cause of the dam's failure
had not completed their report.
Six more bodies were recovered
late yesterday, bringing the known
death total to 2X1. Five were un
covered in piles of silt-covered
debris near and below Santa I'aulu
while the sixth was washed ashore
near Oxnard, several miles from
the mouth of the Santa Clara
river. No identifications were pos-Blble.
