The April showers which have fallen
during this month. according TO the
records at the city hall, have only been
six in number. but have more than made
up for this small total in the quantity OF
water that fell, as'the total rainfall for
the month-tha far Is about double -the
average rainfall for April since 1892.
The present storm. which commenced
at 7:l5 on the evening OF April 18th is
about the largest for the month, as up
10 II o'clock today nearly three inches Of
rain had fallen. According to the city
han record. which is kept In the city
engineers office, the exact amount was
292 inches.
The storm was not at any means over
at that nour, and according 10 the
probabilities clearing wea ather need not
be expected until some time tomorrow. so
that the month total will undoubtedly be
record breaker.
The steady downpour which has con-
tinued almost uninterruptedly since Tues
day night has proved a source OF great
discomfort 10 those who were forced to be
out or doors, and caused a number oc
washouts In various parts OF the city of

OF this rain will bring spring here with

Notwithstanding the fact that the storm
has been a cold one.
In regard TO the chance for the total
rainfall being record breaker. II may
oe said that the total TO this morning
was $50 inches and two more days TO
go with the rain still falling.
In April three years ago the rainfall
was the heaviest since 1892, for that
month being $50 inches and the other
higher months were In 1875 s:54 inches;
1855. 702; 1861. IT'S: 1851. 80. and is41, 77s

Toronto. Ont, April 2s.-The action OF

bill providing for close season for ali

failed to act and that they would reap
