The danger for Barre and Montpelier
people of spring food passed out with
the ice in the Winooski river and Stew
ems branch, most of which started on
it sannual journey to Lake Charnplain
yesterday afternoon or last evening.
Only in the precincts. of the lntercity
ball park, between Barre and Mont
pelier, was any ice jam of consequence,
but this managed to back water to the
street railway tracks at the curve Just
north of Dodge's bridge and between
the railway crossing and the active
switch. To insure safety to the trav
elers of the railway ears, motormen
were ordered to halt the cars before
water, since by walking a
short distance on the upper side OF the |
road, passengers could transfer and !
travel in safety. This was the only |
bad result of the outgoing ice, which |
started TO move early yesterday after
noon. Ordinarily, Easements of Barre's |
Main street stores, many of which are |
very low, are covered with river water
backed through the sewers, but no
such trouble had been reported this
and it was the opinion of
Street Supt. ]. {. DeBrune that dan
ger of flood had safely passed. and
unless very heavy rain storm arrives
,oon he felt confident that the Stevens
,ranch would conduct the spring fresh.
ITS away without any more than ordi-
lary damage.
