threat of disease, re-open highways,
construct emergency bridges and re
store rail traffic.
The total rainfall In Los Angeles
was measured at 6.27 Inches for the
storm, which began late last Satur
day continuing through new year's
day. The greater portion of the rain
fell between midnight and dawn Sun.
day and it was a cloudburst which
started the flood, 18 Inches of rain
falling on some of the mountain dis
tricts surrounding Glend ale -Montrose.
The precipitation broke any mark of
record in southern California.
Look for Victims.
Led by sheriff's deputies and state
highway patrolmen, groups of CWA
workers patroled the banks of rivers
looking for victims. Others dug
shovels into the enormous piles of
debris, where undoubtedly other
bodies will be found and still others
searched through wrecked houses,
many of the structures moved hun
dreds of feet off foundations, for the
dead.
For the most part this work cen
tered in the Glendale -Montrose area.
In the Venice district there were no
reports of missing persons.
The main body of CWA and ccc
workers, aided by 500 county flood
district employes and 750 county road
department laborers, were equipped
with shovels and 150 trucks and put
to work clearing highways in he
Glendale-Montrose sector. Many of
these roads were buried beneath 12
feet of rock and mud.
Automobiles Burled.
There were 32 bridges to be re
built and at least 75 automobiles were
estimated somewhere underneath the
debris left by the flood. Probably
1500 other automobiles were damaged
throughout the Los Angeles area.
To expedite the work, all highways
into Glendale-Montrose were barred
to all but those having official bust- j
ness. Curiosity seekers had begun to
hamped relief work when the decision
was made to close the area.
All relief activities were centered
under the command of Major Jules E.
Hantque, director of the CWA here.
Besides the work of searching for vic
tims and clearing away debris, health
authorities organized details which
visited all homes in the Venice and
Glendale-Montrose districts as a pre
caution against the spread of disease.

Gov. Rolph flew here from the north
to add his help.
Sanitation a Problem.
With gas, water, light and sewage
mains wrecked in some localities, the
problem of sanitation was viewed as
one which might become difficult.
Boiling of all drinking water was Im
pressed upon residents of the dis
tricts.
Paradoxical as it was, the Qlendale-
Montrose district suffered from a
water shortage today. Drinkable water
waa carted Into the area in bottles
and the county forestry department
supplied four 600-gallon tank trucks.
Residents obtained their water thusly,
some of them leading burros laden
with water bags, Boy Scouts aided
in the distribution of the water.
ReNef Funds Needed.
D. c- McWatters, chief of the
American Red Cross here, Issued an
appeal for funds, saying that 1500
homeless families In the Venice area
were looking to the relief agencies for
aid while they sought an opportunity
to re-establish themselves. The Sal
vation Army was distributing food
and clothing supplies and the ex
tensive county welfare organisation
also was called Into the breech.
Health authorities reiterated earlier
statements that the past 24 hours had
given no Indication of the likelihood
of epidemics and said that with
proper precautions no spread of dis
ease should occur.

tentlon of homo rule, by Instructing
t,he city attorney to file a brief
contesting the constitutionality of
the Knox law In the circuit court,
was read by Mayor Wilson.
More discussion followed, ' during
which the advisability of starting the
matter through the circuit court at
this late date was questioned and
direct action through tfte supreme
court suggested. For a short period
of the meeting indications of imme
diate action by the city of Medford
were strong. Then the Leagus of
Oregon cities conference here was
brought into the dicu&sion and It
was decided to delay action pending
the Thusrday session.
Doubt on the part of all city at
torneys as to the constitutionality of
the Knox bill was revealed, during
the report of previous conferences.
Revenue Needed
The need for action to bring mora
revenue from liquor sales into city
coffers was emphasized with the ne
cessity for a definite stand to pre
vent other powers being taken out
of the city's Jurisdiction in the fu
ture. It was also brought out that ft
long period will elapse before a liq
uor house can be established in this
city and that some action must be
taken to control traffic during that
period. The problem, several per
sons pointed out, will always be one
In which the city will bear much
responsibility and from which the
city should therefore realize suffi
cient revenue for control. It was
maintained.
Ordinance Needed
Chief of Police Clatous McCredis,
called upon for his opinion regard
ing thelmmediate- need for an ordi
nance governing liquor sales, stated
that q -let would "undoubtedly reign
during the next two weeks," but
that cities should agree on some or
dinance as soon as possible to set
up local control machinery. He also
expressed doubt that a liquor house
would be opened here in any reas
onable length of time.
Councilman C. C Darby, reporting
for the recently appointed llqu
ordinance committee, stated that it
was revealed at the committee meet
lng that conditions were no worsa
now than they .had been and that
action could await the meeting of
the League of Oregon Cities. The
state liquor commission, he stated,
is expected to disseminate informa
tion in the Immediate future.
