The old Bacon bridge had stood
the ravages of floods and freshets
since 1852 and it's going out removes
a landmark. 1t probably will not be

pOrtunity of laying the new road up

blasted out Thursday afternoon let
ting the ice down and causing all
this trouble, but in answer to in
quiries the Lyndonville authorities
deny this. According to them the
ice freed itself there and damaged

FLOOD IN ST. JOHNSBURY
Railroad Track Washed Out Below
the Gas Plant-HighWays
Damaged.

The effects of the flood were felt
in other parts of the town also. A
jam at the electric light station set
the water back over the meadows
and washed out about 400 feet of the
track below the gas plant. Sleepers
river, finding no outlet spread itself
over wide territory inundating the
houses near the bridge on the fair
ground road and the gas plant was
flooded with about four feet of wa
ter.
About Z o'clock the electric lights
went out as all the water wheels at
the company's four plants were rem
dered useless by the ice jams. The
load was quickly shifted onto the
turbine plant however and the diff
ficulty tided over.
To add to the confusion, both
telegraph and telephone service were
crippled. To the north the tele-
graph line was cut out entirely by
the food at the Center and but one
line of telephone remained in that
direction. South, all telephone lines
were put out of commission and to
reach any points in that direction
it was necessary to get connections
through Lewiston and Portland, Me-,
and Concord, N. H., even to talk with
Barnet. Automobiles were used to
transfer passengers from Passumpsic
but when they arrived here they had
to put up for the night.
Train service was at a standstill
and several freight and passenger
trains were held up here until Fri
day night. The Maine Central was
tied up for a while Thursday fore
noon with ice on the track at the Bar
ton Works crossing, but they re-
sumed traffic that afternoon. The St.
Johnsbury & Lake Champlain road
had a more serious affair on their
hands, as their tracks were under
water and ice for nearly a mile at
WOlcOtt. They managed to get
through Friday and with opening up
of the Boston e Maine south, Friday
evening the congestion was relieved
and many travellers resumed their
journeys.
The town authorities estimate the
loss on bridges and highways in town
at 100000.
