DAMAGE BY STORM.
The severe storm OF Saturday night did
considerable damage about town Many
cellars were flooded, some streets were
badly washed and limbs and branches
we're torn from trees. A large tree at
the junction Of Narragansett and Halleck
aveu,.es was blown down and In falling
smashed the frame which supports the
awning I'm the frankfort stand at the
junction OF the two streets.
In several sections large ponds stood In
vacant lots and I'm streets At the corner
OF Read street and Aliens avenue an
elet trio light pole set at the edge Of the
sidewalk was fully eight feet from the
shore OF the lake left by the storm and on
several lots i'm the vicinity OF Narragan-
sett avenue there were similar ponds.
South OF Turner avenue. on the east
side OF the brook the slope was covered TO
a depth OF two or three inches with soil
which had washed down from land az the
TOP OF the hill. The brook Itself at severai
points was converted into quite torrent.

spring Several OF them are TO be erected
on the east side. which has grown up
with remarkable rapldty in the last
three or four years. Up 10 three or -four
crease but since that time this has
changed to rapid jumps.
The lumber for four or five new houses
is already on the ground and more is ar
riving every day. AS soon as the wealth
er gets settled ground will he broken and
tho work OF building Will proceed as fast
as mechanics can be received to do the
work 1t looks as though the demand for
masons and carpenters will be greater
than the supply, especially masons.
In addition TO the new houses there is
n great deal OF repair work and altera-
tions TO buildings which have been in use
for many years.
