FLOOD RAvAGES
IN CAPITAL CITY

Augusta, May 2.
Although the high water in the Ken
nebec river has dropped about six
feet, it is still in the cellars Of the
greater number Of buildings on the
East side of Water street, and the
work of cleaning up and repairing the
damage has been begun in only a few
of them.
The Girls Community Clubhouse,
which was filled with water to a depth
of four and half feet, was able to be
entered this morning for the first time
since Sunday, and presented a sorry
sight. The mud and silt deposited by
the receding waters was three inches
deep, and everything which had been
in the north end of the building had
been carried to the south end. Lii
brary books were found in the refrig-
orator, and one electric light had been
turned on by a piece of driftwood
which had become caught in it's chain
and had pulled the light on.
Miss Alice Human, manager of the
club cafeteria, who has been working
in the clubhouse all day cleaning up,
said tonight that her loss would be
about $500, due to the loss of equip
ment and food. She said she expects
to reopen the cafeteria Monday morn
