Many Wires Down

NiuHt "iNS sS"HH
 New Haven, Aug. 27.--With ap-
 proximately 6,000 telephones out of
 commission in the territory east of Saybrook, a section of the state
 severely hit by juvenile tornado
 late yesterday afternoon and an
 equal number of telephones render
 ed useless in other parts of the state,
 the Southern N. E. Telephone Co.
 suffered more damage than has come
 from even the worst winter storm in
 a great many years according to an
 announcement by the company to-
 day. Nothing like the devastation
 that felled wires, cables and poles in the eastern part of the state ever
 has been experienced by the tele- phone people, the announcement said.
 Up to noon yesterday telephone lines were not greatly damaged about Connecticut" says the tele- phone company, but during the af- ternoon an extremely high wind set in along the shore line. Trees were blown down by the hundreds and uldlly VI lllc+lip laiiiiieS osi ISitPiioiS wires and large cables carried those with them. Toll lines between New Haven and Middletown, Middletown and Saybrook, New London and Nor- wich, New Haven and New London, New Britain and Waterbury, New London and Willimantic were car ried away by falling trees. At Ni- antic on the New Haven-New Lon don line between Norwich and New London broken cables mixed with high tension lighting and power lines with the result that the tcle- phone cables were badly burned at these points.
 Telephone troubles outside of the New London districts which includes Norwich, Putnam, Danielson, Willi- mantle and other cities and towns Tn that section, were not unusually severe though quite general in all parts of the state. The eastern area, however was harder hit than during | any kind of storm that the telephone | people can remember.
 Tn New London 700 stations were 1 out last night. Norwich was without 500, in Willimantic about 800 were out. and Putnam and Mystic suffered | to the extent of about 400 stations being out of order in each place. The total of stations interfered with, as stated would be about 6,000 in the l New London district.
 owing to pole replacement work that is going on in the New London district it was not necessary for the to draft large gangs from other parts of the state for repair work of the heavier type. All gangs on construction were used on the extensive damage. However eight repair gangs from Hartford were jent to the scene of the trouble to the eastward and it is expected that luick work of restoration will fol- ow their appearance today in the damaged zone"
