While the foods were descend.
ing Friday morning, a represen.
tative of the DEMOCRAT took a
walk to see and find out what
was up as we'll as what was
coming down. - vi
In company with W. H. Will.
son. chief of fire department
and DR.. r. K. Megcwn we
struck Davis Street at the
intersection of Summer and
turned South. 1T the corner
of Dover and Davis we saw the
cutters at the south line of
Grace church filled with sod
and forcing a large stream of
water across the solid gravel
street, which was being wash.
ed. Crossing Dover, we saw
a sheet of water ten (10) feet
wide rushing across the fine
street of Davis and doing it an
injury, the gutter on west side
is clogged with sod and forced
the water to do injury.
Continuing our tramp South
we saw tie big heavy stone
culvert receiving and discharg-
ing veritable river, for the
stream above and below it, was
$50 feet wide and from 8 toe
feet deep. That is where
Cleveland crosses Davis. Look.
ing east we saw a stream of
water washing across that pref.
ty solid driveway and washing
the gravel to the branch.
Cause whyg Neglect to keep
the gutter on north. side of
Piersol Park free from grass.
We then turned west, that is
Councilman Rutledge's corner
and saw the water scooting
across from the North to the
tSouth side of Cleveland. A
glance showed that a heavy
blue grass sod had formed,
throwing the rushing waters
where they would cut the
solid streets. .
| One half block west and we
looked down Monroe Street
land saw it was impa ssable for
men and beast, even the foot
bridge was under water. ~.
Then before reaching Main
Street we saw a clogged up
culvert on Cleveland. >.
Turning south on Main and
striking the raging waters at
Park Street we found the heavy
lstone culvert put to its full ca.
lpacity, the wagon bridge on
Park under water and water on
, lall sides of it for so feet. The
foot bridge on Main in a dan.
