It was summery weather over
most of the state Sunday with 99
degrees at Dallas, 98 at College
Station, and 97, in Waco, Del Rio
and Laredo.
A sprinkle of rain in the south-
ernmost tip of Texas — at Browns-
ville — was all for the state Sun-
day. as the drouth continued for
most regions
Meanwhile, the Hill country—hit |
hard last week by torrential rains
that definitely broke the drouth in
that section — cleaned up the mess
left by the floodwaters.
Workers found the body of one
of nine persons killed as result of
the floodwaters It was Aureliano
Costilla, New Braunfels, who died
when a car in which he was rid-
ing Wednesday night plunged into
Comal Creek.
Practically no damage was re-
ported Sunday when the Guada-
lupe River crested at 32 feet at
Cuero. Minor damage was ex-
pected to crops in the lowlands
of the vicinity, the Texas Weather
Bureau said.
Upstream at Gonzales, the flood
was leveling off Army engineers
had estimated damage for the
Texas floods at nearly $11,000,000
