ing taken off all the material excepting

| the rain came. Ii is said by persons
who have lived for long time in that
neighborhood that it is the first time in
storm as heavy as there was Thurs
day night that the road has not been
washed .out, The new culvert, which is
under the sidewalk, and the new bridge
across the town hill road carried the wa
ter and this did not anywhere near fill
the water course +. A. Whitman was con-
graduating himself when he took look
at Cliff street, for it is the first time
in years that heavy rain has not torn
the road TO pieces. The fall Of water
Thursday night did very little damage
to the road. Mr. Whitman directed his
men when they repaired the road this
| summer to put in some bitches. These
were OF sufficient size to carry off the
water, although the manholes to the
sewer filed with gravel.

case Of the drought, but that was over
come and large yield resulted. Now the
rot has commenced.
