road was badly damaged several
weeks ago by the flooding OF the
marshes caused by the excessive
rains of August and the fact thaI
The bitches draining the marsh belng
filled up. The opening of the mouth
of Prime Hook creek by the use OF
dynamite rapidly drained off the wa
ter into the bay. AS soon as this was
done county authorities repaired the
road but too late to be OF Denent 10

Beach. .-
The report from muskrat trappers
of Broadkill and Prime Hook marsh-
es is to the effect that these Iur
hearing animals will be more mum
erous than ever. The flooding OF the
marshes by the heavy rains causeu
the increase in the rats and the tacI
that the salt water from the bay olo
NOT break over the beach, flooding
them with salt brine, did not occur
this year. An excess Of salt water
is deadly to muskrats.
