Drains Unable to Carry on Flood
 of Rain Water
MANY POLITICAL CANDIDATES
Poor Telephone and Street Lighting Service for the Past Few Days Hoboes Travelling at Night Annoy
 Residents by Shouts-Brief Items.

The heavy rain this morning pro- dded a severe test of the efficiency of Inc draining system which was re- sently installed under the railroad bridge and on. the west side of it. Tho drainage system was found wanting. The rain commenced at uuartar after nine. and in one hour there was a foot and half of water lndor the bridge. The little pond was growing rapidly. being fed by streams from the east and west sides of the tracks.
 Automobiles had more or less suc- cess in passing through the pond. Some got a good start and. splashinG water on all sides. ploughed their way through successfully. Others had the misfortune 10 have their engines fail when tho water struck them. and the automobiles were stalled. One olds- mobile in particular got as far as the center of the pond and was stalled. The occupants could not get out TOT Inc water vas almost two feet deep. A truck came along and hauled the automobile out by use of a long chain. The trolley cars did not attem pt 10 pass through the pond. They were stopped at a convenient dis tance on either side of the pond and the crews changed cars.
 No water seemed to be carried off. The storm may been been too sudden for the capacities of the drain. but at any rate it seems that the drain Is ,nsuficient. Many residents have always doubted the feasibility of a irain under the bridge. since that is A point lower than the brook to which the water is directed. There has always been trouble with the drainage system since the car road gaa cut under the tracks. It had been hoped that the state highway commission had at last solved tho problem whom the present drainage ystem was put In. The other drains on the west side of the tracks were in excellent working order and car ried off all the water which flowed near them.
 No Light or Phone Service.
 Both KensinRton and Berlin have had poor electric service during the past few days. Most of the street lights in Berlin were out last night, although most of those in Kensington were burning. Nearly all the tele- phones were out of order and the re- pair men have been slow to put the lines in order.
