BLACK RIVER RACED.
And Caused Considerable Uneasiness at
Springfield.

Springfield, April TO- Black river
almost reached the dignity of flood
Friday and Saturday because of the
melting of the SHOWS in the north
country" It ran with full banks and
cleared the ice from the village to the
junction with the Connecticut river,
four miles below here. The bridge
near the fairground about half mile
up stream blocked the passage Of the
ice and the ice iammed against the
bridge and turned the water each side,
so that it flowed across the fertile OK
bow meadows on the east and cover
ing the Playground racetrack and the
meadows on the west
II was feared that the pressure of
the ice might lift the bridge from its
piers and float it away, but the water
fell after finding an outlet each side,
and the damage was confined to wash
ing off two or three inches of top
soil.
A six-inch water main. which was
laid late last fall in deep sand cut
on the grade Of Bridge street, broke
Thursday and gouged out a trench 250
feet long, feet deep and 10 feet wide
The water and sewer pipes dropped
down so deep that no attempt win be
made to save them. The holes will be
filed, and new pipes will be laid. The
damage is estimated at 81 600
