A 24-hour patrol of all foe sand- bag barricades was ordered. J .W. Sanger, general manager oi City Hydro, said Manitoba gumlx in the dikes is acting as a lubri- cant and causing the sandbags to slide. "There is already some evidence the dikes may deteriorate quicker than expected.” Both he and W.D. Hurst, the city engineer, called for a constant. watch to keep them from collaps- ing under the relentless pressuie of the muddy river. Mr. Hurst said sandbags at the Glenwood Cres- cent dike in Winnipeg's north end had slipped eight: inches in ii day. Brig. R. E. A. Morton, in charge of flood-control, also cautioned against false optimism. He told his daily press conference that col- lapse of the gradually-rotting dikes or heavy rain could turn the pres- ent comparatively-bright; flood pic- ture lnto tragedy. A light rai.i - perhaps one- quarter of an inch - was forecast for the whole Red River Valley to- night and tomorrow. The weather office said the disturbance was moving in from Saskatchewan and South Dakota. There was no indication that the precipitation would greatly alter the Red's expected course. D. M. Stephens. Manitoba's De- puty Ministor of Natural Resouices. predicted yesterday the crest should pass throug Winnipeg today and indicated that a drop of perhlps one-tenth foot would be recorded in the greater Winnipeg area by 1 P.
