SAN ANTONIO. Texas. Sept. 11.
The list of known dead from the
flood of early Saturday was 45 late
Sunday. The dead and missing is
estimated at approximately 250 by
officials engaged In recovering the
bodies, while Police Commissioner
Phil Wright estimated that it might
reach 300. Many residents consider
these figures high.
The property loss is placed at $5,-
000.000 by some business men and
those in charge of reclamation work.
Estimates both lower and higher
also are heard.
