But now, just look at the nervous
wreck he’s turned out to be. A
big, black cloud gives him the jim-
o jams, and twenty-four hours of
d soggy downpour develops in him a
- fine case of the whim-whams. Oh,
you’d be that way, too, if you saw
a wall of water rushing down on
you, and you with only a couple

this calamity, Sauce can’t help
I but think what a hearty laugh
I "Uncle Billie” Rice would have had,
I had he lived to see the floods of
i 1930, and again the flood of 1935.
I “Uncle Billie” would have said, “I
| told you so!” And how! More than
once did he tell Sauce of the floods
! away back in the babyhood days
I • of Brady—a flood of such immense
proportions that it cast drift logs
up at the site where the Presby-
I terian church now stands.

And when folks would ask “Uncle
I Billie” how he came to build the
Rice buildings so high above the
level of the plaza, he would give a
very knowing look and say, “To
keep them out of the flood water.”
His listeners would smile, and “Un-
cle Billie” would add: “You’ll live
to see Brady flooded again.” Wise
words; foolish listeners.
* * *
But what puzzles Sauce is why,
for a period of some twenty, or
may-hap twenty-five or thirty
years, Brady passed safely thru
rains, storms and floods, with Bra-
dy Creek never getting far out of
• -banks, and then in the past five-
car period, to have it become a
Nroaring imitation of the Mississip-
pi River on three different occa-
sions.
Following announcement of the
invalidation by the Attorney-Gen-
eral of Highway No. 23 road bond
issue for $25,000, voted in July,
road enthusiasts Wednesday lost
no time in calling a meeting to
consider the situation, and to de-
cide upon the best way out of the
difficulty. With purchase of right-
of-way on Highway 23 well ad-
vanced, and with condemnation
proceedings ready to be instituted
on the remaining tracts, it was de
cided that the only possible way
out would be to call another elec-
tion which would conform with
the Attorney-General’s ruling, and
to vote bonds in sufficient amount
to consummate the purchase of
Highway 23 right-of-way, which
will be approximately $30,000. The
further fact that only a compara-
tively few tracts remain to be ac-
quired by the county, in order to
complete purchase of right-of-
way on Highway No. 74, from the
San Saba county line into Brady,
decided the committee to include in
the bond issue an amount suffi-
cient to assure purchase of this re-
maining right-of-way. Finally,
the desire to connect up with the
Hext, London and Junction trade
territory, caused the committee to
ask that an amount be provided to
secure right-of-way on this road
thru the Calf Creek community and
to the Menard county line.
Decision was made to name $60,-
000 as the total amount of the
bond issue, to assure ample funds
for these three important proj-
ects, and should the total amount
not be required, then to leave the
amount of bonds not needed, un-
sold. The bonds would bear in-
The twenty-two Brady High
School athletes who have been in
football training at Camp Billy
Gibbons since August 26, returned
home Wednesday, their camp cut
short because of heavy rains in
this section. Also, Coach Earl
Rudder, under whose supervision
the camp was being held, was call-
ed to San Angelo early Wednesday
morning to be at the bedside of
his father, D. F. Rudder, who is
critically ill in a hospital there.
The elder Mr. Rudder was strick-
en with appendicitis Monday, and
underwent an operation Tuesday.
His condition at last report was fa-
vorable, though the crisis was yet
to be reached.
Much good was done in camp by
the football candidates, said Coach
Rudder, who came home Tuesday
night, leaving the contingent in
charge of Russ Holland, assistant
coach. As soon as the weather
clears up, practice will be resum-
ed here, and with the opening of
school Monday, the training will
get under full steam with an en-
larged list of aspirants for the
1935 team.
Chas. L. South Will
Speak Charter Night
Rev. Fred S. Rogers, pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church of
Brady, but who will leave soon,
was the speaker at the weekly
noonday luncheon Thursday of the
Brady Lions Club. Thirty mem-
bers and guests were present for
the meeting.
Rev. Mr. Rogers spoke on “Last
Impressions of Brady” as compar-
ed with his first impressions of the
town and its citizenship.
It was announced by the presi-
dent that Hon. Chas. L. South of
Coleman, congressman from the
twenty-first district, would be the
principal speaker at the Charter
Night Program on Thursday night.
September 19, at Hotel Brady, and
at which time District Governor H.
V. Stokes of Sonora, will formally
present the local club its charter.
WPA GRANT TO IMPROVE
LEVEE, SOUGHT BY CITY
Submit Project To Planning Board For
Raising Walls 24 to 30 Inches, Deepen-
____mg Channel, Dredging Under Bridges
A grant that will relieve Brady of its flood hazard, is
sought by city officials from the Works Progress Adminis-
tration, and a project for $24,000 for improvement of the
levee alongside Brady Creek is being submitted the McCul-
loch County Planning Board today by Special City Engineer
A. Holland. The project calls for the raising of the levee
wall from the bridge on West Main street to the bridge on
North Bridge street, a distance of some six hundred yards
the channel to be cleared of 20,000 yards of dirt, and dredg.
ing under both bridges. Local engineers believe that with
the channel being deepened and the wall raised from 24 to 30
inches this distance, that the levee will take care of high wa-
ters of Brady Creek and those of Live Oak, which flow into
Brady Creek just below the bridge on West Main.
■ In addition to relieving the chan-
. nel of the creek of 20,600 yards of
dirt, which will be brought back this
side of the levee, approximately
9,600 yards of dirt will be removed
1 this side of the levee from city
property in the lowlands alongside
the brink of the creek, to enable
better drainage of the city proper.
I Engineer Holland stated that a
14-inch raise in the levee wall from
bridge to bridge would have taken
| care of the high waters Tuesday,
when the business district was
' flooded. The waters got about 12
| inches above the wall just east of
the Mexican Methodist Church, and
waters inundated all area between
| the creek and West and East Main
I streets, in addition to lots of the
area between Main streets and
| West and East Commerce streets.
The Brady city council called a
I special session Wednesday morn-
ing to meet with Frisco officials,
| Engineer T. E. Bliss and Traffic
, Manager C. J. Stephenson, Fort
| Worth, both of whom promised
| fullest co-operation with local of
ficials in improvement against a
recurrence of future high waters
of Brady Creek. The railroad
Rotary Governor
Various explanations have been of-
. fered: Choking down of the natural
stream bed by building and improve-
ment; obstruction of the channel
by bridges; freer drainage of flood
waters from cultivated lands than
from wooded areas and grass
lands, where trees, and grass serve
to hold back the rapid escape of
moisture; exceptionally heavy rain-
fall over a comparatively limited
area.
WHAT PROGRESS HAVE WE
made in flood prevention? Two
spans were added to Brady Creek
highway bridge by the state high-
way department to provide more
space for water flow. A great rock
levee was built to confine the
flood waters within the creek
channel. The creek itself was
cleared, widened, and a new chan-
nel cut.
• • *
Good work; commendable—just a
little short of the goal. Present
plans to raise the levee and to dig
the channel deeper should com-
plete the task. Then, if a dam,
or a series of dams, at proper lo-
cations, were built up above Bra-
dy. they could be made to check
the mad rush of flood water, or to
release the torrent as the creek
could take care of it—and thereby
make Brady floods a thing of his-
tory.
* * *
NOW THAT WE HAVE given
our readers the jittery side of
the question, we will give the sil-
very side of the rain cloud. A
prominent citizen asks how many
times in a lifetime has anyone
seen a seven-inch rain. Bert Max-
well says that by the law of av-
erares. Brady should not have an-
terest at not to exceed 5% per
annum, and would mature serially
over a period of 30 years.
Since the $111,000 Refunding
Bonds of 1926 will hereafter • be
taken care of out of the 15c Road
and Bridge fund, the 8c tax levy
for this purpose will no longer be pendent School District

be enabled to make a saving of 3c Thursday by the school board from

Petitions asking the County
Commissioners Court to call the
$60,000 Road Bond election are
now being circulated over the
county, and will be ready for pres-
entation to the court Monday. The
election would be called within the
following 30 days.
Proponents of the bonds are pre-
dicting carrying of the election by
an overwhelming majority. They
point out that contracts for the
overpass on Highway 23, near Mer-
cury, and for the underpass on
Highway 74, north of Rochelle, are
slated for letting as soon as title
to right-of-way on these two routes
is given the state highway depart-
ment, and that contracts for im-
provement are certain to follow as
s. on as the district engineer’s of-
fice can prepare the required plans
and specifications.
PWA Grant, Loan To

Senator Tom Connally.
The application, after being re-
vised, was sent to Washington sev-
earl weeks ago, in the same batch
with the first from Texas.
Further particulars regarding
the loan and grant for the new
building will be forthcoming from
Washington within the next few
days, officials believe.

RICHARDS PARK DAMAGE IS
CREATER THAN IN 30 FLOOD
Flood damage at Richards Park
was much more serious than in
1930, according to W. H. Roberts,
park keeper, and this in spite of
of the fact that the water lacked
two inches of coming into Mr. Rob-
erts, house, while in 1930 it was
nearly three feet deep. At that,
spots were flooded that were un-
touched by the other flood. Mr.
Roberts attributes this to the
building of the wall at Richards
Park, which deflected the water for
a time hut when it overflowed let
it pour over with a tremendous
rush.

/ TTY EQUALIZATION BOARD
• IN SESSION MONDAY, 9TH
The City Equalization Board
will be in session next Monday.
September 9th, to hear complaints
and to make adjustments. Origi-
nally, the board was to have met
the past Wednesday, but the date
was changed in order to make the
session legal. Comprising the
board are Sam T. Wood, F. R.
Wulff and A. J. Ricks, Sr.
About half of the race track was
covered, and some 500 ft. of the
board fence was washed down. The
rock part of the fence was not
damaged.
Citizens point out that The
Standard’s Tuesday report of busi-
ness houses being flooded to a
depth of 24 inches in 1930, was
wholly inadequate. Well, the
truth of the matter is, it depends
on where the measuring was done.
The Standard office had 28 inches
of water inside the building and
40 inches outside the front door;
Commercial National Bank had 37
inches of water running over the
floor, ardd places between these
two points and the creek had con-
siderable more.

ing the National Jamboree at

Some 25 leaders accompanied
both groups. Busses were char-
tered from a Dallas company and
drivers, helpers and cooks hired.
Each group cooked all its meals,
camped under pup and wall tents.
In each instance no serious ill-
ness or injury was sustained. Sev-
eral Scouts were caught with up-
set stomachs because of change of
water and the like.
"The leadership could not have
been better,” according to R. L.
Billington, Scout Executive. Lead-
ers who took over the two trips
and “clicked" from start to finish
were John E. Robbins, Bert Haigh,
and E. L. Starkie, San Angelo;
Dr. A. E. Arnfield, Texon; M. H.

also been postponed. Decision to call both the meet-
ing and the dance off was reached yesterday noon, aft-
er leaden skies and an almost continuous precipitation
gave no promise of returning sunshine or clear weath-
er for the weekend.
The situation was further aggravated by the fact
that highway improvement work on Highway No. 9,
just west of the city, effectively blocked the route of
Highway 16 into the city, forcing detour over lateral
roads that are far from good in rainy weather.
As soon as the weather clears, and the highway
situation is remedied, a new date will be set for the
Press Meet.
