HEAVY WASHOUTS
BY Transforms
Yesterdays Storm Like Cloud
burst In Northern Part Of
County - Traffic Delayed

Annapolis was visited only by a mild
sputter of the series of severe cleo
trical, wind and rainstorms that pass
ed over various parts of the county
yesterday afternoon and last night.
The storms, as far as the rain was
concerned, were the most severe in
the northern part of the county, be-
tween Naval Academy Junction ann
Baltimore. There were several bad
washouts along the tracks of the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
Electric Line, as a result Of which
traffic was delayed for more than an
hour, and it was late in the night be-
fore cars were being operated near
scheduled time. Residents of those
sections say the storm was virtually
a cloudburst.
The principal washouts on the Elec-
trio Line occurred near Westport, a
few miles outside of Baltimore city.
There the heavy deluge of rain simply
guttered beneath the ties and earth
foundation of the tracks. Forces OF
men were Immediately put to work,
and the damages have beon practical
ly completed during today. The Short
Line also suffered somewhat in this
respect
In the lower part of the county.
chiefly in the Davidsonville section,
there was also an unusually heavy
rainfall. AS a result, the county roads
were badly washed in many places.
The rainfall also was quite heavy in
some parts in the vicinity of South
River Roads in sone instances were
converted into rapids. so great was
the rushing Of water.
Somewhat more pleasant weather is
likely. at least for a while, accord
ing to officials of the Weather Bureau,
who also say that no more rain is in
sight for today. 1t continued hot and
murky this morning, however, but
along about noon the winds, which
had been generally from the south
southeast, veered around 10 the north
west quarter and brought cooling
breezes.

CHANCE TO GET MORE

The County Court House will be
amply equipped for heating facilities
during the coming winter With a
carload of coal already stored in the
bins, the County Commissioners ,at
their meeting yesterday. decided to
ask for bids for the installation OF
two new boilers for the heating plant
in the basement of the building to re-
place the present ones, which, 1t is
stated, now are pretty well worn out.
The Commissioners for some time
have been considering the installation
of new boilers, owing to the fact that
frequent inspections developed the
need therefore. II has been Is years
or more since the present boilers
were installed And it is not unlikely
that the Commissioners soon will con-
tract for the erection of new boilers
at the county Jail on Calvert street, as
Sheriff Thomas S. Dove has notified
the Board that conditions at the pris-
on in that respect are bad.
