caused more trouble for the trolley
company and direct travel to Delaware

The wind backing the tide on its
flood yesterday caused the water 10

known as "Scotts bottom" a short dis
tance this side OF Delaware City.
When the tide ebbed the culvert be-
meath the trolley tracks at that point
proved insufficient to carry on the
water and as a consequence The tracks
were flooded for a considerable dis
tance and the roadbed washed away
FOR a distance OF several yards. su-
perlntendent Holcomb with the wreck
car hurried TO the scene and began the
work Of repair. II not being deemed
safe to run cars over the washout

end OF the line and passengers for that
place we're compelled TO allght and
walk around the break No cars we're
run through to Delaware City after
the early morning hours. Although the
damage is not great IL will cause the
company considerable Inconvenience.
