The heavy rain of Wednesday night flooded the street at the railroad via duct on Bruce avenue and it was necessary to do considerable work about the place before the water was drained off. Selectman Lally had men at work yesterday In cleaning up the damage done by the storm and it took some time before the drain pipes were cleared out.
 During the storm which ragged Wednesday night the viaduct under the railroad at Main street was flood ed and trolley cars went through with difficulty. All those citizens who ven tured out of doors received a drench- ing as it was a steady dowDpour from early in the evening until early in the morning.
