COLUMBUS INDUSTRIES
PARALYZED BY FLOOD

COLUMBUS, Dec. 10.-Columbus
had no street railway service today
and no textile mills nor large manu-
featuring plants operated, due to
flooded generators over the e.ssire
three plants of the Columbus Rail-
road Company.
This morning the latest gauge
readings were:
Goat Rock 1876 feet over dam; wa
ter Is inches deep in plant.
North Highlands, 14.9 feet over
dam, water waist deep. A Golfer dam
built of sand bags at door and win
dows is holding the flood temporarily
and the city is deriving power from
this plant alone.
The steam plant is five feet under
water
For the first time since 1887 wa
ter from the Chattahoochee river has
inundated Bay street. At o'clock
this morning wavelets from the food
began swishing against the bank and
soon afterwards began sloshing over
the banks. The gas plant was the
first place reached, the water lap
ping against the rear doors and then
surrounding the entire coal supply.
Since the water covered Bay street
80 years ago, the Chattahoochee has
widened approximately 100 feet. In
1887 traffic moved by bateaus. In
dications are that this will be repeat
ed today.
Communications with Phenix City
and Girard is virtually suspended.
Heavy traffic over the Fourteenth
street bridge was prohibited last
and persons crossed at their own
risk.
At the Dillingham; street bridge
the water is fast nearing the flood.
The second decks of the river steam
ers early this morning were on a
level with the railway bridge.
