THE STORM
MUCH DAMAGE DONE no
WIRE SERVICE

The heavy snow, rain and win,
storm that started Monday night ans
continued without abatement unit
Wednesday morning, wrought mucl
havoc to wire service.
The wet snow clung to telephone
telegraph and electric wires and
poles, the heavy weight causing hun.
dreds of breaks in wires, dragging
down and breaking off poles in ali
sections. Wire service of every de.
scription was badly crippled.
The Eastern Power Company, OF
which the Northern Maryland
Electric Co. is branch, was hard
hit, light and power service being en-
tirely out of commission from about
ten o'clock Monday night until five
o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
The Cecil Farmers, C. & p. and
other telephone service in this and
adjoining sections, was also badly
crippled, poles and wires being drag
ged down and broken, and a large
number of telephone stations put out
of service.
The companies have had forces of
men working steading to restore
service as speedily as possible.
Wire and transportation service
throughout the State, and in fact
throughout the entire path of the
storm, which was wide one, were
crippled and delayed, and the damage
wrought runs into thousands Of
dollars. Officials Of telegraph and
telephone companies report the
damage to their lines greater than
since March 4. 1909.
