About s., 200 is estimated as the amount
of the damage done to the new State
highway in the western part of the town,
which was one of the results of the cloud
burst of Thursday morning, following an
almost continuous four days downpour
of rain. Streams and ponds had been all
most to the OVERLOOKING point by the
steady rainfall, and the deluge of Wednes-
day night and early Thursday morning,
caused general havoc, carrying away
bridges, flooding cellars, etc. The dam at
Smith brook, above the Lindsay place on
the Shore road, gave way and the force
of water completely carried away the
bridge on the main highway between
Searsport and Belfast. A torrent of water
running down Prospect street toward the
bay, on account of a clogged culvert,
changed its course at the corner and
poured down Main street. The result is
gulley about 8 feet wide and several feet
deep in the new State highway. Granite
blocks from the culvert were washed
down stream and in two places big
U-sha, ed gulleys were cut clean out of the
road. Sand and mud were washed down
over the fields on the south side of the
road for some distance Opeeche stream
overlooked the mill bridge, and logs in the
pond above Trundy's mill went over the
dam. About 20 cords of manufactured
hardwood also went down stream into
the bay. The culvert under the bridge at
Mechanics Hollow gave way and the
road is badly washed away, leaving barely
enough room for car to pass. Cellars in
this vicinity were flooded to the floor
beams. The morning mail from the west
was about two hours late, being transfer
red to the Searsport train at Winterport,
where there was big washout. Roads
in many of the outlying districts were
made impossible, and the extent of the
damage cannot be estimated as yet.
