BLASTED JAM
ALL NIGHT
~ss---.---~--
And This Morning Huge Mass
of Ice Moved Out
FLOOD FEAR SUBSIDIES
Biggest Lot Of Trouble They Have Had
ia Montpelier for Long Tine--0ne
Of Two Bridges Were
Threatened.

The WinooslSi river il cleared Of ice,
and there il now nothing to prevent the
outlet Of the fast disappearing snow,
but there was a great deal Of excite
nent in Montpelier last night pending
the breaking up of one 81 the longest ice
jams ever seen there. Granite plants
off Barre street were flooded with water
two to three feet deep, and there was
even fear that houses might be dis
lodged BY the whirling current, while
workmen in the granite plants bad to
wade through deep water to ge$S out,
50 fast WAS the rise Of the wasef%st
one time.
The jam formed at the Pioneer late
il the afternoon, extending down TO
below the Central Vermont bridge. It
came within foot of the bottom Of the
above structure, and it looked for a
time that the bridge might have to 90.
But at 7s05 the Ice gave way and swept
down the river to the Cotton dam,
Where another huge jam was formed,
running back to the Charles street
bridge. In five minutes time the water
rose a foot because OF the damming of
the outlet, and the banks from Berlin
side TO the granite sheds were filed
with water. AT eight o'clock the water
was two feet deep in the Lille plant.
AT midnight, street superintendent
Clark Roberts, began blasting the jam
near the Main street bridge, while a
large crowd watched the operations.
The blasting continued practically all
night, and at ss45 this morning the
great jam began to move, sweeping over
the Cotton dam in pretty sight As
Mr.. Roberts had the river cleared be-
how this point the ice went out without
hindrance and down the river.
