River Rises Rapidly In vicin-
ity Of Mt. Vernon, Result
OF Heavy Rain
FLOOD DAMAGE IS
NOT LIKELY NOW
Snow Storm And Drop In
Temperature, Will Prevent
Damage, Officials Say

A decided drop In the temperatu
and the rain changing to snow no
doubt prevented serious flood damage
IN Mt. Vernon and vicinity Monday.
The heavy rain OF Sunday after
noon and Sunday night and early
Monday morning caused the Kokosing
river to rise rapidly and at o'clock
Monday morning 1t was nearing the
danger stage, according to state
ment from city and county officials
Deputy County Surveyor Wilbur
Van Horn and assistants from the Of.
fee Of the county engineer made a
tour OF inspection about the city early
Monday and found some alarming z
conditions. AT the Gaffney bridge,
north Of the city, near. the plant Of
the Knox Tire G. Rubber Co., the wa.
ter came nearly to the floor of the
bridge, but the river bank was hold
ing well and the officials did not be.
lieve the bridge would go out
After leaving the bridge, the water
seemed to take q westward course, so
that the grounds and buildings Of the
tire company were in no danger of be-
ing flooded. The water did not go
over the dyke in Riverside park, al
though there was considerable water
In the north end of the park.
On the south side, the water was
several feet from going over the rails
at the Pennsylvania railroad bridge.
The water appeared to be the high.
est at q point southeast OF the Fem.
sylvania shops. where the lowlands
were flooded. 1t was reported in this
vicinity that several chickens and one
or two pigs had been carried away by
the high waters.
Both the city engineer and county
engineer expressed the belief that
there would be no severe food after
the rain turned to snow at 10 o'clock
Monday morning
A prediction sent out by the wealth.
or bureau this morning announced
there would be a decided drop in the
temperature, and officials announced
this would cause the river to fall rap
idly.
Monday afternoon the Kokosing riv
er was reported to be rising at the
rate of three inches an hour. The
current in the main channel is swift
and strong, and Is carrying down
more or less of debris, some OF which
has lodged against the viaduct
Should 1t come in sufficient quantity,
there is possibility of obstructing
one or more of the archways.
This afternoon the river still had
several feet to rise before reaching
the danger point. The change IL
weather conditions, the cold wave
choking the rain, and snow, was vel
coined by those who feared the pos
sibility of another flood. The cessa
tion of the rainfall for even a few
hours lessons the danger of an in
undation.
It has been recalled that the 1915
flood Immediately followed the advent
of Easter.
