CHARGE FLOOD TO
RAILROAD BRIDGE
Government Engineers Make Re
port After Survey Of Terri
tory Affected.

That the overflow of the Brnadywine
and the disastrous flood of last month
which did SO much damage and drove
about 500 persons from their homes to
ind shelter on higher ground, was IN
great part due to the water backing up
from the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad bridge
"A few blocks northeast OF Old Swedes
Church, is the conclusion arrived at IN a
rcport submitted by u. S. engineers after
n survey of the territory affected.
The report from the survey has been
completed by the engineers office. The
investigation covered the entire area
affected by the flood, and shows the exact
height of the water in the different streets
and blocks at the crest of the Hood.
An inspection of the report was made
bv Charles Forwood, chairman Of the
finance committee of the City Council,
and Charles I'll. Cant, secretary OF the
Board of Harbor Commissioners. The
rcport showed that while the flood was
AZ It's worst there was a difference OF not
les than four and one-half feet In the
level Of the water above and below the
railroad bridge. 1t also shows, 1t IS stated,
that below the bridge there was no flood
ne of the lands on either side OF the stream
4 stiff inland wind was blowing of the
TIME Ot the tEfSAltls anu iiitic NS.1 e.b bi
usually high incoming tide from the Chris
tIapa and the Delaware. The wind and
tide served to back up the water consld-
crablv and lessened the difference IN
level above and below the bridge. Without
this effect of the wind and tide, the en-
cineers come to the conclusion, it IS said,
that there would have been difference
in the water level above and below the
bridge of eight or nine feet instead OF
four and half.
The trouble at the railroad bridge, ap-
parentIv. is not due to debris catching on
10 the piers and forming natural
dam so much as TO the obliqus position
nf the piers themselves across the stream
The bridge is at the apex of bend IN the
Brandy1yine and the current from above
strikes it at sharp angle. The piers which
are parallel to the banks are thus obllquc
to the current itself, and form barrier
4 report on the matter will be made 70
Council bv Mr.. Forwood, and it IS ex-
pected that the Street and Sewer Depart
ment will take it up with a view 10 finding
a remedy. 1t is thought probable that
the piers will have to be changed in order
10 permit of freer flow of water between
The condition will have to be remedled
hv the city and the railroad company
and not by the Federal government, rs

SAYS HORSES WERE
NOT AS REPRESENTED
William S. Sweet of Andcver Sues Per-
ry E. Sherwin of Londonderry for
Damages of $500.

Because of an alleged misrepresenta-
tion as to pair of horses William 5.
Sweet of Andover has sued Perry 4.
Sherwin of Londonderry for damages of
$500 through the law office of Ryder q
Graham of Bellows Falls. The papers are
on file in the county clerks office and the
suit is returnable at the September term
of Windham county court.
Mr.. Sweet claims that on May IA, 1920.
at Londonderry, Mr.. Sherwin sold him a
pair of grey mares known as the Philip
Bull twins, fraudulently representing
that only ene of them was slightly stiff
forward and that otherwise both were
free from fault and were good workers.
The price paid, according to Mr.. Sweet,
was $500, and the plaintiff alleges that
both mares were stiff forward and were
not good workwers and that both were
restive and ungovernable in harness.
The plaintiff states that by reason of the
condition and characteristics of the
mares he has been deprived of some OF
the profits of his crops.
