WATERVILLE BECOMING
NORMAL AGAIN

; Conditions in the city began to as

ances Friday following the severe
storm Of Thursday. The work Of
keeping the electric lines open con-
tlnued during Thursday night after
an interruption Of several hours dur
ing the worst part Of the storm. when
. there was no service. So on Friday
! morning the cars were ready to take
their regular customers to their
work after having played the shabby
trick of making them walk home the
night before.
On Thursday two men who work
in the Maine Central car shops walk
| cd up from their homes in North
Nassalboro and back to the city
! from the car shops at night. Also
two lnen Of this city who work in
Fairfield we're obliged to walk back
to Watcrville in the middle Of the
afternoon as there was no car SER
vice.
The amount Of snow in the streets
is prodisious. The sidewalks have
not been cleared for the last two
storms previous to this one and on
most streets out Of the business Sec
ton there is only q hardened ridge
in the middle of the sidewalk which
serves for a footpath for the pedes-
! TRANS.
! In places where walks have been
cleared the snow has been thrown up
to such height that it is impossi-
bic to see over. The snow bank in
front Of the postoffice is at least
eight feet high and on the lawn in
trout Of the railroad station there
are great mounds of snow IL or Is
/ feet high which have been made by
hauling away the snow from the
tracks at the depot.
| The train service which was de-
moralized Thursday, righted itself
Friday. While the forenoon trains
we're somewhat Off schedule and the
train which should have left for Ban
lgor at 1925 in the afternoon was two
and half hours late, the later aft
ernoon trains were on time, however,
/ and everybody is devoutly hoping
that the last big snowstorm Of the
season Is over.
