RiUer Again High, But No
Damage Is Expected Here
Ice Breaking Up in Raritan and
No Dynamite Will Have to be
Used New Brunswick Situ-
alton Better.

Although yesterdays thaw was ex-
pected to set loose the ice foes in
the Raritan river and cause freshets
from the mountain streams which
empty into the Raritan river, all ap-
pearances today were that no serious
damage would be done by either the
hlgh water or Ice coming down the
Raritan. Reports from New Bruns-
wick this morning were that the tow
path, along the canal, was completely
covered and the river was high, but
not so high as to threaten a flood
similar to that of last week The wa
ter was within six inches Of the TOP
of the canal at 10 o'clock this morn
ing.
1t will be unnecessary to dynamite
the ice in the river below the Albany
street bridge in New Brunswick, il
was stated yesterday afternoon, fol-
lowing an investigation of conditions
by Mayor Morrison OF that city and
County Solicitor Richardson.
The water In the channel at New
Brunswick has worked It's way
through the ice, loosening It and
making 1t possible for the ice foes,
high on the flats at the Highland park
side of the river to break up and
float away without the use of dyna-
mite. Floating down the river this
morning were pieces of driftwood and
wreclsage which had been frozen in
during the cold snap.
No cellars had been flooded in New
Brunswick along the water front this
morning, despite the high water and
no trouble was anticipated by resi-
dents.
Work on the county bridge was
temporarily stopped this morning
and the workingmen are out In little
boats breaking up the ice which has
stopped on the western side of the
bridge, in an endeavor to have 1t go
through without further damaging
the bridge.
The river Is little higher than
usual. but no damage has been re-
ported as O result of the tide.
