big pond, was the first to so. Its CON
tents, already swollen to abnormal size
by the recent Iains. rushed into two
ether ponds controlled by the Forge
dam, which collapsed a few hours
later.
No loss of life resulted from the
break as residents had been warned
that the washout was Imminent and
had moved out of harms way. Crops
in nearby fields were buried under
several feet of water, while the wa
tiers seeped into the cellars and event

houses.

boiler rooms OF the Edison plant were
covered with between six and eight
feet of water. -Four bridges in East
