Flood conditions that prevayreo in the
Cuinebaug valley following the ,unusual-
Ty severe storm had very greatly SUBJ
sided by Thursday morning. The Quine- |
baug remained at d. very high level, but |
the heavy flow OF water remained inside |
its banks, and from flooded adjacent |
areas the water was slowly finding its /
way back into the course Of the river. |
The stream remained nurky during |
Thursday and was bringing down con- |
siderable amount Of zee from points to |
the north. This ice was in small pieces |
and incapable of causing injury to dams |
or other such structures where there are !
manufacturing plants along the. course. /
Mills that were forced to shut down on /
account of the h gh water on Wednesday /
were again operating Thursday. |
