WatertoWn Factories Forced
to Close When Power
Is Cut Off.


ALBANY, N. Y, April 27.--Resi-
dents of northeastern New York
State breathed easier today with
Adirondack streams reported either
near their food peaks or slowly re-
ceding. The Saranac and Black Riv.
ers, worst offenders during the past
few days, rose slowly yesterday, but
last night the Black River had reached
it's peak and the Saranac River had
become sluggish even in its lower
reaches.
Watertown suffered its greatest loss
from the flood through the shutting
down of factories getting their power
from the Black River. Trolley service
there, interrupted during the morn.
ing, was resumed later in the day.
Despite a slight drop in temperature
and lack Of sunshine, the Saranac
increased in volume enough to over.
flow the highway at several points
and some families living on valley
farms are reported to have been driv-
en- from their homes by the rising
water.
At Albany the Hudson River, after
holding almost steady yesterday, again
was rising last night under the first
flow of a fourfoot crest far upstream.
