ENGINEER WARNS
VALLEY DWELLERS
OF SPRING FLOODS
Thickness of Ice in Rivers
Likely, to Cause Trouble
When Break Comes
After Thaw.
(From a Staff CorrespoadenL)
Lincoln, March 1. (Special.)
State Engineer George Johnson is
" worried oyer the prospects for heivy
spring floods. Ice in the rivers is
four feet thick in many places, says
Johnson, due to the fact that the ice
first froze two feet and then came
a warm spell in which the water ran
over the ice and when the cold
weathre came again the two feet of
water on top froze solid, making the
ice four feet thick.
He believes the new bridges built
of cement will be able to stand the
rush, although the valleys along the
rivers are likely to overflow to an
alarming extent. In such a case it
' stands the people along the river
valleys to watch carefully and be pre
pared for the spring break-up.
