DAMAGES IN THE TIN WARD By THE
RECENT FLooDs.-We find that the ef.
fects Of the recent floods have been much
more disastrous on the Island than we
had before been aware Of
The roadway from the old ferry land,
ing in front Of the Zane residence, past
the residences Of Captain Wilson, Mr.
Hewitt and J. Morgan, Jr, has so badly
caved and washed as not to be sale FOL
travel, except Tor pedestrians. These
gentlemen have large force Of men On
gagged In trying 10 save what remains o.
the narrow footway, should there be an
other return Of high water:
But Immediately below the residence o.
Jno. Morgan, Jr., Is where the worst fea.
lures Of the food show themselves. Here
the action Of tho water appears 10 be fal
more disastrous than at any other point
on the Island. For the first two hundred
feet or so q narrow strip, say four to five
feet wide, Is oil that remains Of the road
thence Tor about the same distance not q
vestage Of the road remains. Below, To-
wards "stonetown," the damage is little OIL
nothing. MIR. George Foble Lost heavily
in corn, &c.
\ But the saddest effects OF these terrible
washes consists in the fact that the whole
people residing south Of the old Zant
Homestead, consisting oil some twenty OF
more families, are virtually cut Of from
all intercourse with the rest of the city
except they go through corn fields, vine
vars, etc. Were 1t not for the aid Of
Jack Frost they could not get a load o.
coal or barrel Of four-and even this re-
quires very skilltul driving.
We hope the City Fathers, or City So
licitor, will render relief to this part o
the 9TH ward by pushing through the stree
back Of the old Zane Residence where 4
ought to have been long since.
