From Jockey hollow to Jones Bros
dam in the north end the street depart
ment has been pursuing a very commend
able policy of preparedness in the way of
freeing the waters of Stevens branch
rom ice Through the explosion of guam
titles of powder and dynamite people
Who have property abuttng the stream
rave probably been Unidentified against
some of the heavier losses oeeasoned
when the branch goes on a rampage in
he spring Blasting has been going on
or several days and yesterday it was (
tated that the branch is practically free
rom ice throughout the length of its
curse in the city The ice has gone out
4 the mill pond at the Trow & Holden
liant and at the Smith, Whitcomb 4
'ook shop in the north end. Danger OF
on a big scale has been dis
ipated largely through the foresight Of
he department in using the blast as a
ledium of clearing the river. Had a n
rain occurred instead of con III
inued warm and sunny weather, the III
alue of blasting the ice would be even N
lore apparent. III
