Within the past month the city has
completed the construction OF a new and
large surface water sewer, running from
Eddy street beneath the buildings and
yards of'the city department TO the Prov
idence river.
A large brick catch basin is located d.
rectly In front OF the offices OF the de-
partment and serves as receiving basin
for the surface water OF Eddy street at
this point A second opening some so
feet south on Eddy street connects with
the catch basin and materially assists In
the drainage OF the surface. The sewer
Itself is located between 20 and 30 feet be-
meath the surface Of the street and is OF
the large type, having a diameter of IS
inches, ordinarily adequate in removing
surface water
About / o'clock this morning a VERT
table cloudburst occurred in this vicinity
and the water surged down the gentle
rise to the west OF Eddy street convert
ing that thoroughfare into mill race.
The catch basin soon filled to overfowing
and the rush OF the water was so great
that II could not be carried off and speed
lily rose above the level OF the curbing.
The concrete had not been laid along
the sidewalk at this point and the sand
permeated with the water. Ffltering
down through this sand the flood forced
It's way through the basement wall and
into tho rooms beyond.
The storeroom. lying directly behind
this wall Is filled with sand to a depth
OF several feet and until IL be removed
the way by which the food entered the
building will not be known.
The laundry. kitchen. various store
rooms and other apartments In the base
ment were flooded with water to a depth
OF several feet and later in the morning,
as the waters subsided, the entire series
OF rooms were found strewn with wreck
age OF all descriptions.
The catch basin and sewer are believed
TO be intact and the cause OF the wash
out is regarded as lying IN the made
quacy of the openings and of the basin
itself TO carry OF the extraordinary rush
OF water.
Floods are OF frequent occurrence in
this portion OF the city and the city has
lately constructed this auxiliary sewer
age as a safeguard against future mum
dation. II seems like the irony OF fate
that the present disaster should mark the
first real test the new sewer has had.
