Many people who wondered yester-
day why the cars of the Lewiston,
Augusta & Waterville street railway
were off time during the afternoon will
be interested to learn that the delay
was due to the freshet in the Kenne-
be river. 1t was only possible to get
about half the power that is usually
supplied by the Central Maine Power
cos station Winslow to move the
cars, the trouble being due to the wa
ter backing up into the station and
wetting one of the transformers.
Workmen were at once set at work
taking the machine apart and drying
1t by artificial means, and it was hop
ed last night that the machine would
he in operation again this morning.
The situation was relieved somewhat
by starting up the steam plant at Hal
lowell.
