It comes in the form of a letter from Supervisor Henry W. Wright, the following being a direct quotation from the letter: "We "are all agreed that the need is great for relief at the Newhall Tunnel, and personally I am very anxious that no harm is done to business interests in Newhall or Saugus by direvting any considerable amount of travel -through auother route. for the tunnel has become ah" absolute necessity." The new road is surveyed to run over the hills to the east of the tunnel to connect with the state highway about half way between the tunnel and Newhall, and on the other side with a new road, to be known as Glen caks boulevard, running to the north of San Fernando road.

P.T.A. Meets The Parent-Teacher Association will hold its regular Meeting at the school house on Wed. P. 8 o'clock, April 4. Mrs.

Perkins, the president lias received a phone eall soon after the "dam from the Huntington Park P.T.A. saying that their association had set aside a sum from their treasury that could be drawn on by the Newhall T.A. for any flood relief work that they saw fit to spend it for. Also a check came from the executive Hoard of the L. A.

District Federation of P.T.A. for the same purpose. AUDITORIUM Here's one letter, received by constable Biddison, which is rather self explanatory. "Dear Sir I saw a picture of my former husband in the paper, where ha was helping to carry out the bodies from the big flood. I bad lost track of him, and he owes me alimony.

I want it." Darn those photograph hounds anyhow! I have noticed several items lately about-large kites one 20 feet high, and another 54 feetr Th former is said to have been successfully flown, but the latter is yet to be tested. The writer remember seeing a 20 foot kite sent up, at Pierson, Iowa. All the preliminaries had been carefully adjusted, except the It was a long one but much too The machine went whizzing toward the sky, but not being balanced with enough tail, finally turned its wild rush and headed for the earth, and smashed into a thousand pieces. "Anyone" who -might Have been unfortunate enough to be bit by it would have been killed instantly. The same parties put up an eight foot kite that stayed up almost 24 hours, and would not have oome down then, but the wind ripped it.

Public Utilities Lose The public utilitia companies were hard hit by th dam disaster In th valley, and all of them have had large craw at work restoring th rvice. The telephone company had mes on th restoration job, at daylight, th morning of the disaiter, and in short time had temporary Mrrice, established in most of the devastated area. The rebuilding of the two-mile gap ia the JSan Franeisco lints was a more serious matter, however, and while the service was established, it is a long job to put in the permanent polea and heavy and the work will continue for somt time. The Midway Gas Campany lost mil lion of feet of gas, before the valves of the broken pipes eould be clo sed For the Newhall-Saugus section, gas was brought back from Los Angeles until the long break at Castaio Junction eould be temporarily rebuilt through the sand and silt. There were also several breaks in the Ventura line.

A large crew of men is atiwork putting things in order. The worst hit of all was the Edison Cempany, which suffered the complete loss ef its sub-station west of Saugus. The breaking of the six great 220,000 volt transmission wires made the spectacular part of the great flood. The steel towers went dwn like paper, and when the half inch copper transmission lines struck the water, there were fire works lighting up the eounlry or miles, each contact making a report like cannon. The display continued until the last wire went down, and the power shut off these wires.

The eamp near the county line had just been established, and the loss of life was terrific, but no work had been done on the new station. 4 SCHOOL place where there is so much love and human sympathy. It seems as if every one wanted to do more than tlieir share and we had to cooperation of everyone, each doing, his bit. Some at the conteen to do what they could, some at the moreue. some at the club house keeping the beds In order so those who came in from the rescue work, might rest In Some in thir homes makint- coffee and sandwiches, some helping Mr.

And our Boy Scouts were ready and willing to Kelp at all times. Everyone was so kind and thoughtful coming from our neighboring towns to help us in so many nice ways and we appreciate so much our old friends and neighbors coming back home to help us or sending loving, cheerful messages that helped so much. We did what we could. We gave the best that there was in us to give and we are glad if we helped a llitle. Arff.T.

Sister Allie Carr, RJfsONIC CLUB HALL RENOVATED With the removal of the last body, the work of restoring the Masonic club hall 'to make it suitable for use, was begun by city workers. The hall and all the rooms had been thrown open without reserve for the work of the undertakers, and grim marks of the awful scenes of the week were in evidence on the floor and walls.

The floor was planed to remove the blood stains, and the walls tinted in a different shade to efface the memory of the gray days when were The plan was to turn the the place back to the club in as good shape as when the awful tragedy made its use imperative. ents.
