75. i;Tt. Vernon Creek.- The design flood flow on Ift. Vernon Creek <br />would be 4,500 c.f.s. as determined in paragraph 41. This is approxi- <br />mately the maximum flow that occurred during the 1938 flood. The <br />estimated damage would amount to $32,000, divided as follows; Land, <br />0$10,000; roads and bridges, $10,000; buildings and improvements, <br />$2,000; and miscellaneous, 0$10,000. <br />76. Indirect and intangible damages.- Inasmuch as the area is a <br />w T <br />resort center and the income from the tourist trade is one of the princi- <br />pal sources of revenue, the resulting indirect and intangible damages, <br />including loss of life, would be relatively high. The design flood <br />would cause a major interruption to business, while the tourist traffic,. <br />for the most part, would undoubtedly be come letely suspended; and the <br />damage to utilities and normal activities in general would probably be <br />felt for one or more subsequent seasons. <br />77. §!aF,." The total losses from the design flood are esti1n,ate4 <br />as $590 {OOQ, of which 4$472,000 would be direct damages a4q $118,000 �n, <br />direct damaggs, not including an allowance for loss of life. This amount <br />�s less than the total for the 1938 flood, since in the latter flood <br />one of the �aajor items was the damage to highways which have subsequently <br />been or are being relocated higher up the s }des of the canyons where they <br />will not be as vulnerable to flooding.
