fortunate that the rivers and brooks OF
Vermont were not clogged with ice at
the outset, for with great cakes of ice
borne down on the bosom Of the flood
there would have been grave conse-
quences. The high water would have
sent the ice and debris crashing against
bridges and dams in such force as to
menace those structures severely; and,
most likely, towns and villages would
have been called upon to meet extraordi-
nary expense to replace structures
washed out. There was huge quantity
of snow in the mountain and hill re-
gions which form the watersheds for
the various streams, but luckily the
snow did not become transformed into
water until after the streams had been

selves thus far remarkably free from
devastation from food as the highways
have not been subjected to the usual
gouging and gulleying OF the rushing
water, due to the fact that the removal
of the snow has been more gradual than
usual. Indeed, one could not have
asked for better handling of the spring
snow problem than nature has provided
during the weeks of the breaking up of
a remarkably severe winter. That prob
lem is not yet entirely past, inasmueh

in the woods and hills, but the situation

there was prospect that trouble might
result from the going out of tire dams at

rise perceptibly and although there was
from one to three feet of water in cell
lars along the river bank, the mer-
chants removed their goods to higher
levels and met with no loss. Teachers

was danger OF the streets becoming

Nebraska City Has
Two Mayors and
Two Sets of Officers

NEBRASKA CITY, Neb., Jan 6.-(Spe-
cial)-Nebrasks City is perhaps the only
city in the state that has the distinction
now of having two mayors. Last spring
a recall petition was circulated for the re-
call of Mayor J. D. Houston and the
other commissioners refused to recognize
the petition, and finally the matter was
taken to, the courts and mandamus was
issued, ordering them to issue the call.
1t was DONE and Paul Topping defeated
Mayor ]. ID. Houston by a handsome ma
jority.
The other commissioners met and can
vassed the vote and they declared Mr..
Topping, young attorney, elected COM
missioner, but held they had the right
to elect their own mayor from among the
commissioners Hawley and Richardson,
the two old members, pooled against Top
ping and elected Richardson mayor. He
has been serving for the last two months.
At regular meeting last evening Mayor
Richardson found himself in a very pc
culiar position, when he undertook to
call the meeting to order, because Com
missioner Paul Topping also had a gavel
and called at the same time. Richardson
refused to recognize Topping, and Topping
stated he was mayor and refused to
recognize Richardson as mayor, and dis
charged the city attorney A. p. Moran,
and stated he would fill the positions
OF attorney and mayor himself
A number of claims against the city
was allowed and Topping says they are
only good when he signs them and
promises to discharge a number OF other
city employees and place new men in
their stead. This morning Nebraska
City has two mayors and each will have
a police force, city attorney and other ap-
pointive officers of his own. Mayor
Topping defies the other two commission
ers to start any legal proceedings as he
was elected as mayor to succeed Mayor
Houston and not as commissioner TO
succeed Commissioner Houston.
