Fire Under Boilers in Engine
 House Drawn as Flood Rises in Pit
At Noon Business Center is a Lake Caused by Overp0ur Oi Tanners Brook
fspecial to The Farmer)

Stratford March 2eThe town IS flooded today and it is impossible to get about the streets at the center without hip boots or boats. The heavy downpour last night met the incoming tide this morning and at 3 o'clock the water began to rise in the streets At 10 o'clock Main street was under water from Wilson's news room to Reeds market Water has risen above the level of the floors in all the stores on the west side of the road.
 Tanners brook is the cause of the flood. and instead of passing out to fhe river decently and orderly as usual. this tiny rivulet in ordinary weather has poured down a nooo which could find no outlet. The de- partment turned out and emptied bags Of cement about the pit at the fire house in which the steam boilers are located The fires were drawn and the whole force turned in. to fight the flood
 Polly's barber shop, Ennulat's tailor shop. Smiths plumbing shop were all under water Water was three feet deep in the alley adjoining Lovelis s hardware store. The east side of the road escaped Selectman Nettleton and gang of men made an effort to relieve the situation. and it was nec- essary to plough a deep furrow across the road to let off the flood. It IS believed that the cement bridge over khe brook at Main street is filled up with refuse, making a dam which holds back the water brought down by the brook It is impossible to es- innate the damage until the water has sfbsided
 At III o'clock the west side of the town was a lake extending as far west as the Neighborhood Church. and north to the railroad There was three feet of water in the town sheds and the water was still rising. The Connecticut Company sent gang of men over to make it possible for the cars which had been stopped by the hood to pass.
