The ring hammers and beat of mercy-bound feet Saturday echoed through the flood devastated Republican river valley in contrast to the destructive roar of a mad stream a week ago. The turning point arrived Saturday as the frank questions were put to the survivors of what they will do and where they will live. The Red Cross designed modest homes of 2 to 4 rooms and called upon the works division of FERA to build them. Lumber was taken to the first site of a new house near here but was brought back because the family had not decided how close to the river it wants to live. General repair work and reconstruction work, however, gathered speed.

Local labor was recruited as far as possible. Relief officials warned outsiders not to come in search of work. Rowland Haynes, disaster relief coordinator, estimated 1,600 non-victims were plowing furrows for replanting stricken families and communities. This figure did not include 2,000 railroad repairmen and more than 500 highway workers. erage rate per kilowatt hour for home use was 3.24 cents; its average monthly consumption, 63.3 hours; and average yearly bill, $24.60.

Unofficial estimates of flood damage In Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas and Missouri were fixed at $41,060,000 and indications were the loss would go even 'higher.
