perhaps pride of place should be given

kindly lent by the council of Bed

should register, as their services can

FLOOD CREST PASSED IN
WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
Allegheny and MOnOgahela Rivers
Reach Height Not Attained Since
Flood OF March, 1913.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, Feb. ). - The
flood crest in the Allegheny and
Monongahela rivers was reached at
midnight last night when the streams
rose to a height of 2S.4 feet, higher
than they have registered since the
disastrous flood of March, 1913. The
acute flood danger in western Penns-
lyVania is now believed to have pass
ed. Forecast for cold weather came
this morning and the rivers are al
ready receding rapidly.
More rain is predicted by Forecast
er Henry Pennwitt, of the local United
States weather bureau, but ii will not
prove enough to cause any serious rise
in the waters and the cooler weather
will diminish the rate OF melting ac-
cumulated SHOWS. For IL hours last
night the rivers registered above the
2S-foot mark and II was only at
o'clock that rivermen were convinced
that the crest had been reached and
passed.
Although little actual damage was
done. much suffering was caused
among the poor who live along the
water front and in the lowlands
nearby. Practically all the streets
leading up from the rivers were COW
cred with more than a foot and half
of water, and the residents of these
sections had to be taken To their
homes in skiffs.
Ample warnings of the approaching
flood had been given by The local
weather forecaster and merchants and
residents in the water front district
were ready TO meet flood conditions
when they came. All of the water
front mills for miles up and down the
Allegheny and MonOngahela rivers
have been forced TO suspend opera
lions temporarily because Of the
flooding of their plants.
Policemen in skiffs carried food and
fuel TO those who were unable 70
leave their homes this morning after
having patrolled the flooded district
all night watching for weakening
walls and foundations. In many sec
tons residents were ordered from
their homes yesterday afternoon, by
the building Inspector who feared
the undermining OF foundations by
the food waters.
