The freshet conditions of the Paw catuck river in the vicinity Of Wester- ly were so grossly misrepresented by some of the Providence papers the fore part of the week that the townspeo- pie have since learned that not only have those residing in other parts of the state expressed their sympathy for the flood sufferers but that Con- gressman Peter G. Gerry from this dis trict became thoroughly interested in the serious situation and very kind 1y offered aid
 The young congressman was advised that although his keen interest in the situation was appreciated. reports of the conditions were exaggerated and no aid was needed.
 The river did rise to a considerable height and threatened to do an unlin- tied amount of damage to property in Stillnanvil1e, but the water did not reach as high a mark as it has some times in recent years, so that when it began to recede after Sundays storm all fear was allayed. Much of the land along the stream is still inundated, but this is an annual occurrence and is usually expected at this time of the year by the people who are familiar with the freshet conditions in that part of the town.
