FLOOD CONDITIONS
Wslter Frszer Brown of Mrdford
yesterday received the following In
teresting account ot conditions In
the Pittsburgh flood area, written by
a college mate who has long been
mployed by the Westlnghouse com
pany: "Much of the business section was
flooded. In some places as high as
the second story. Much of our own
works (Westlnghouse Electric & Man
ufacturing Co.) were under from five
to ten feet of water. Fortunately,
the loss of life win run under 100,
but as for property damage it has
been put as high as 4500,000,000.
"All electrlo light, gas, wster,
transportation and much of the tele
phone and telegraph service were cut
off. Wonderful work was done by
our radio station KDKA, the only
one which did not go down and out,
but they had their own Independent
power plant, and when the lights
went off resorted to candles.
"All radio of course was cut off In
Allegheny county except In autos so
equipped. Messages would be brought
Into KDKA saying Connaut lake, had
40 rowboats ready to any community
needing them. KDKA would broad
cast them snd a little later word
would reach KDKA that tbla or that
borough needed 10 the worst way, so
KDKA would broadcast this to Con
Beau lake.
"One of the finest bits of help
furnished In this way was a broad
oast from KDKA saying the only
thing which was keeping 1500 rest
dents ot that town from having
drinking water was a las-horsepower
motor, etc. and a few minutes later
another broadcast announced that
Westlnghouse had such a motor and
was forwarding by truck In a round
about way avoiding the flooded areas.
"Being on a different electric sup
ply and living In the adjoining
county, our electricity was not cut
off. so we kept very well posted. It
waa all wonderful the way the people
responded to calls for help and act
ually did help one another. People
who bad springs and wells were
broadcast so others could go there,
and each time they were told to
bring their own containers; other
people sent word tney would take
care of one, two or more children or
grownups. It would have made the
veriest pessimist optlmlsltc."
