Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-01-07

A severe wind and rain storm struck Waterbury last night and ragged from early in the evening until late this morning. It first appeared as sort of ice storm and many retired thinking the skating was bound to be good in the, morning. Towards mid night the thermometer showed that the temperature was m0derating and sent rain into places where water never be- fore had penetrated, and in several in- stances people had to get up and do some mopping to save themselves from being flooded out. Houses creaked and groaned and timid folks feared that the storm king would succeed in top. bling them over.
 The rain made great havoc with the snow and when people started for the factories this morning they found themselves to the knees in slush in- stead of pushing through the beautiful snow tas they had been doing for the past few days. The water and snow crawled over the sidewalks and tum- bled and tossed until it finally made its way into the catch basins and thence to the Naugatuck river, which rose to such height that things looked threatening at the bridge on Bank street. and the situation was not a whit better at West Main street and Washington avenue. It was sight we'll calculated to gladden. the hearts of the Naugatuck River Water Co, be- cause the volume of water was so great the city's big reservoir. which cost in the neighborhood of million dollars. it put beside it wouldn't be here nor there with the mighty Naugatuck. whose waters rose almost to the beds of the bridges and at times almost touched the top of the high wall back of Benedict X Burnham's factory. Huge chuncks of ice, trees, barrels, chairs and almost everything one could mention went down the stream. and the rapidity with which they travelled almost took the breath away from\some of the spectators who never saw the Naugatuck river at Its best. Were it not for the embankments built aIons the banks of the Naugatuck river with in the past fifteen or twenty years there would not be many shops run Hius nefe Io-udE ana one would naNN to roll up his trousers to get past the railroad station.
 It WAS a huge body of water that rolled down the stream to-day. and people who know the value of water in Connecticut could readily under, stand why wide awake men would want to get control of this source. fol there are millions In it. At noon to-day some Of the supports placed under the covered bridge di- retcly north of Bank street were swept from their mOOrings and whirled down the stream. They were placed there as a precaution against possible dan, ger and it is not thought that their ab' sencc will interfere with the safety of the structure until they can be re placed.
 Similar conditions obtained along the line of the Mad river. another of Wa 1 terbury's beautiful streams. It rOarrd under Scoyill's bridge and swept on tt the bridge on South Main street with
 tremendous speed. and people who
 watched it tumble and toss against the retaining wall on Mill street never be. fore fully appreciated the value of that
