During the heavy rain Wednesday
the road on Main street, opposite the
paper mill, was quilted out to the
depth of several feet. The culvert
was washed away and the water min
gled with stones and dirt, rushed down
the hill into the paper mill filling one
room with rocks and earth to the depth
of foot in some places. 1t damaged
quite a good deal of paper ready for
and if their usual amount of
lime had been at the mill the mill
would have been burned.
Both the Connecticut and Waits riv-
ers are rushing torrents and work has
been suspended at the paper mill on
account of the extreme high water.
The meadows are covered with water
as high as in the spring time. Wednes-
day night the tracks were watched and
some of the section hands were sta
toned at Sawyer's ledge, where the
track was considered dangerous, as it
was sinking in places. Messages were /
sent both to Lyhdonville and White /.
River Junction to have all trains go |
very slowly over that part of the track. /.
There are four washOuts on the other /
side of the river and extra trains are /
running over this division on account /
of this disaster.
The water from heavy rains is high. /
est known for years, and the damage .
to roads, culverts and bridges is very /
great.
