Flood Conditions

The storm Of Tuesday afternoon and
night caused a rapid rise in the water
which comes down through Hayden brook
and II soon overlooked High street at
Drummond avenue and was several inches
over Ticonic street at the lower end. The
screen over the end of the sewer was
reported to have become practically plug
ged during the night in spite Of the eff
forts of q man who had been placed there
to take care Of It. and this is said to be
one of the reasons for the large amount
OF water which flowed over the streets
and into the sewers in that section. Be
low the sewer where there is usually
trouble from floods, the conditions were
normal and no damage was done. Early
Wednesday morning the distractions
were removed from the screen and with
the end of the storm the water quickly
subsidized. The main damage was to the
streets. while a few people lost some
vegetables and things in their cellars.

RAIN CAUSES SHARP RISE
IN LOCAL STREAMS

The rain of Tuesday night and We'd
nesday morning caused sharp rise In
the river and also in the streams about
the city. The Massachusetts was re-
ported to be the highest 1t has been for
years. and was far out Of it's banks in
many places. The Mulholland brook
was over it banks in several places and
the Hayden brook was on a rampage.
The water did not go down to any ex-
tent in the local brooks during the day,
and for the greater part of the day
there was slight rise on the part of
the river it reaching stationary point
in the afternoon. The ice was broken
up rapidly by the sudden rush of water
and great pieces nearly two feet thick
were coming down over the dam. Had
the rain continued much longer it would
have caused great deal Of trouble, as
it was it will be help in settling the
streets.
