Title
French Broad Falls Slowly But Surely
Description
Article describes how men are working to clean up wreckage around the French Broad, especially in West Asheville. Water still reaches the second floor of some buildings, but is slowly returning to its original height. Downriver, one particularly low-lying area is effectively a lake; crops and manufacturing plants both deep underwater. The city hopes to reunite lumber companies with the timber that they lost during the flood.
