From the Buffalo Gazette, April 1911
We learn from Tonawanda, that the flood in the
Creek has been attended with disastrous conse-
quences. A serious breach was made in the Canal,
below the Tonawanda dam and between it and the
Guard Lock. The Creek made clean sweep. and
all the earth between the end of the Canal Bridge
over Ellleott Creek and the Lock is washed away
agara Falls Rail Road is carried away. The Ca
nal Bridge is also gone-demolishing building
which stood in its course. The Creek no longer
runs the dam, but has deserted its old channel
and formed new one through the neck Of land be-
tween the Canal and Niagara River, known as
Foose lsland-about an acre OF which has been
washed away. The dyking on the Creek, above
most disastrous flood that has occurred on the Ton
AMANDA for years. Mr.. KILLERS building, however,
had been carried off. The front part of it used
for the Post office and store by Mr.. X and the
for dwelling.
The breach in the Canal, though serious, we learn
will be repaired in season for the opening of naviga
ton. The efficient Superintendent, and the force
at his command, will commence operations as soon
the water subsidies.
