Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1901-06-22
Deluge Of water.

South Bellaire, near Winding Hill,
suffered the most damage. A small run
that extends for a mile or more into
the country, is carried by two 24-inch
sewers under Charles Rosser's coal tip
pies, thence across Twenty-irst street.
The great volume of water clogged the
small outlet and the great pressure OF
water tore Mr.. Rosser's scales from
their foundation, almost running them.
The flood poured into the adjoining
property and brush and the cellars were
filed with water Mrs. Heath, John
| Eddy and w. p. Crozier were the worst
sufferers The effect of the food shows
again the weak point of the sewer sys-
TENS leading from the hillsides. 1t is
estimated the damage accruing to prop
erty owners and the city will amount
to thousands of dollars from this one
food.
