EVANSVILLE
GrantsvilIe Hard Hit By Storm

OiOWS OS5NAA 49,
early on Sunday afternoon, attained a
depth of 20 inches by Monday morn
ing, tying up traffic over the National
Highway and all lateral roads, cutting
! off electric current and disrupting tel
ephone service.
The town was jammed with tour
lists Monday night, many of the tray
elers being obliged to actually hunt
for rooms.
The highway east of town was not
opened to traffic until Tuesday morn
ing, while traffic on country and lat
eral roads was still closed Tuesday at
noon.
| The enforced stoppage of traffic
caused the stocks of gasoline and
bread to dwindle to the vanishing
point. Added to this the disruption of
electric service Sunday night had its
effect on the water supply of homes
and hotels, as electricity is used to
pump water from wells on the prem
Uses to privately owned tanks.
The local telephone service was not
interrupted, but the long distance
lines were out of commission, adding
to the anxiety of tourists and others
desiring to communicate with points
east and west.
