;period we syoent a392.03. That is or, the i&io oa. Ta en on the Platte down
<br />at :vans in 193t> an6. 1939, of course, that "bas ::Linor, 648. 9. Oil the
<br />`1'hoapson at Lon i,iont, shish comes in at LonMont, there are t:ao s?aall
<br />bridges there, and the total cost for tvro years was "'774.£31. That ,.as due
<br />to the floods a year a:;..,o last Labor Day. On Clear Creek, 1�vhich is just
<br />north of Denver, and intersects our hi „hway, U. S. 37, •`.533.71, The greatest
<br />trouble is up here north on 85, between Nunn and Pierce. There are no
<br />major strea':as, but a heavy rainfall tc;l_es out three and. a half or four
<br />miles of road, every ti -Me they have a rain up th re between Nunn and Fierce.
<br />They had a raeetinc, up thore a ;;Tear ado in l af.,,ard to that, I believe at
<br />Pierce. They discusses: the y,roble . of :tither the diversion of the channel
<br />or a U a :i to run that to the east. So fax nothing has come of that. In
<br />that instance, the State 'Hi6htray Depurt.:,aent o fored to cooperate in any
<br />-i.aay u.a could ;iith 'ara,lcrs or any one else to irotact the road. On account
<br />of the flood a, year a:�:;o last Labor Day, tine had to rebuild four miles of
<br />shoulders that had been dalda,, :,ed, and brid _;e,s. It looks lil:e a lake bet.'reen
<br />Nunn and Pierce. You have to take a raotor boat .when it really rains in
<br />this area. 1Je are ho )iia�; sor.aething can be cone to control th first heavy
<br />rainfall in there. Of course,, tho gig Tho ;.Lpson, has tributaries. It isn't
<br />the Lig Tho_Zpson so :;:Loch as sudCen cloudbursts. In the last ta-lo years we
<br />spent .„2665.30 on that. It took it out one day, and all the da::zaUe was
<br />done in forty -five _aiz:Lutes, and the follo.lain€ week it did the same thin,,
<br />took out the same a�aount of road. On U. S. 6, ,,re didn't lose anything there.
<br />There is a concrete span of approaches on U. S. 34, and on the Beaver taro
<br />concrete approaches, ':.ie lost one of the„i, but the bridge wasn't daana- ed.
<br />I.rziedia:tely south of Wi;-gins the brid e withstood the flood but left great
<br />deposits of sand, and ae had to clean it out and vviden that channel.
<br />This is just a resuu:ae of it. Je will have it all ;,)re?ared, Ldilat we
<br />have done.
<br />fJ.so on the Li. (1011-Deliver road in 1936, on the bridge at Kiowa Creek
<br />'we spent :`576.56. T11,at is at 3ermett. We also spent ; 345.08 in .viarch and
<br />April, 1939, on the Bennett bridge. On Kiovrd Creel•, -vie spent .,>613.34, and
