SALT LAKE CITY Wl Pulsing
flood waters threatened Wednesday
to cut a. fourth major nignway in

the increasing runoff from deep

Water of Jordan river, channeled
Into the man-made surplus canal to
avoid further damage to Salt Lake
City, pushed against the U.S. high
way 4-H bridge across the eiream.
Unless the level of the stream can
be held stationary, engineers fear
ed water would cut around the
span.
Aireaay travel nas oeen naiiea

Canyon. 50 miles south of Salt Lake
City.
cutting of Highway 30-s has been
the most serious blow.
It requires motorists travelling
east-west through Utah to detour
for many miles.
The rampaging Weber river
wiped out a quarter-mile section of
the highway at a horseshoe curve.
So far road crews have been unable
to repair the break.
