STORM after THAW
PUTS CITY'S STREETS
in WORST SHAPE YET

NAterville was in the isolated class
sunday, the whistle of the locomotives
and the movements Of trains being con-
spicuous by their absence. The storm
Of Saturday, which ragged all day, was
the worst yet in its hindrance OF traffic
both by electrics and by steam trains.
The moderate weather in the morning,
which caused rain in some places and
melting Of snow everywhere, later turI-
ed to cold, with heavy snow and wind,
making traffic conditions unconquet-
able. The water froZe around the rala
completely blocking every effort TO NOV
electric cars and trains. in some cases.
Sunday morning. Al! Sunday trains
were cancelled and no tickets would be
obtained at tho station. People in the
ton Sunday papers for the first time ii
years.
Train No. Is. which should have been
in Waterville saturday evening at 5.2J,
was stalled at 70 o'clock that night a;
RetS rade and got into Wateryile at BIZ
sunday afternoon with weary and hun
CRY passengers. A wreck at Harwool is
consisting of a snowplow. AN engine
and a tender. was reported cleared iii
early in the evening. No trains arr
promised in Waterville until sometime
this forenoon.
While some sort of schedule and a
pretty good one. was kept up between
this city and Fairfield. the electric line
to Oakland gave up the struggle en-.
tirely, for the first time this winter. A
snowplow started out for Oakland il
the morning but only got part way ami
was forced to turn back.
In many places along the way the
rails will have to be picked out foot
by foot In every hollow the water
has accumulated and frozen solilly
to the rails so that passage is i'm
possible. Two cars were stalled be-
tween WatervilIe aud Oakland and
remained there all day Sunday. Peo-
pie living in Vassalboro, who have
been snowbound in the city for two
weeks and who have been patiently
waiting to get home, after a long alb
sence, are again disheartened at the
prospects.
The cutters Of the streets are be-
S4A1Alu6 W HISSCuI QlACQls.SS. w me
up to the present time the catch
basins have been kept clear, they
seem to have frozen during the zero
weather Of Saturday night and some
Of the cutters were full TO the brim
on Sunday.
The residential streets Of the city
are in a woeful condition. having
never been cleared uD since the first
big storm. The travelling in many
places is very sloppy, in the deep
snow. A spell OF warm weather or
rain would render many Of the streets
absolutely impossible. The hazard to
the city in case Of fire is great. 1t is
estimated that it would cost from six
to eight thousand dollars to make tho
streets passable even II the help could
be obtained. Every effort possible has
been made thus far and gang Of
volunteer workers seems about the
only solution.
