Visited by one of the heaviest rainfalls in months, Waterbury suf- fered considerable damage Satur- day evening. To-day, however, prac- tically all signs of the washouts and other damage had practically disappeared under the attack of workmen employed by the city and public utility companies. During the height of the storm public utility service was hampered. Traffic was halted in various parts of the city, streets and cellars were flooded and many thoroughfares were washed out.
 The rain, which had been threat ening all day, began to fall early in the evening. It fell 50 fastNthat storm water sewers were unable to meet the demand and as result streets in several sections were turned into lakes. On Thomaston avenue in Waterville the water reached height of about three feet and several autos were stalled in the middle of this lake. They were finally gotten out by young men who donned bathing suits and went to their rescue.
 At the west end of the Green an- other lake, about two feet in depth, was formed, also tying up motor traffic IS we'll as trolley service. At Meadow and West Main streets much of the wooden block pave ment was torn up by the force of the water. The blocks were washed away down to the corner of Freight and Meadow streets. Street depart ment crews cleaned up the debris and began making the necessary repairs to the pavement.
 The hill north of City Corners on South Main street, which washed out some time ago, again washed out in the midst of the storm and halted trolley traffic. one trolley was forced off the tracks ther by stones on the rails. Another trolley was forced off the tracks in Water vile, near Homer street, due to debris on the rails. In both in- stances 1t took much work to re- store service.
 Throughout the city unpaved

Coming Home From Vacation

By degrees Waterbury people are coming home from the shore and the mountains, all well tanned
 by the weather and apparently much improved in health by the relaxation. Those who were for tunate enough to be near Portland and attended the ceremony of con- secration of Bishop Mccarthy state that they never before saw so many familiar faces outside their home town. It seemed as though half the residents of this city were in Portland on that occasion, and nat urally enough, there was much ex- change of greetings among folks who hitherto did not have even

Dogs at Large Public Menace The Dread Malady Rabies Increasing in This
 State

The August 24th issue of the Connecticut Health Bulletin con- tains much valuable information, not the least of which is the grow ing number of rabid dogs in the state During the last six months. 163 heads of animals were examin- ed, 72 of which sowed conclusive evidence of the disease. This Is an increase over the corresponding period of 1881, when 5i heads were examined with only 26 positive cases. t1
 A recent death of a human being from rabies makes this all the more important. and yet dogs are at large all over the state, regardless of the fact that owners of these animals thow that this is contrary to law. f.

Monopoly" was another strong
point of opponents of the act. Said
State Senator j. N. Inmah: IF the
oil industry be permitted this self
regulated monopoly, we shall set a
dangerous precedent in California.
If a monopoly of oil, why not a
monopoly of wheat? Why not a
monopoly of potatoes or beans or
,oranges?"
This was answered by Clyde l..
Seavey, president of the State Rail-
road commission, who said: This
law presents no element of monop-
oily" And Governor Rolph added
THE act will be administered by
a commission elected by producers
regardless of their size or holdings,
with an umpire appointed by me to
decide all controversies"
Whatever the outcome of the
controversy may be, it will climax
what is regarded as the most hotly
contested referendum measure in
Californias history. Every known
means of reaching the public
newspapers, magazines, radio, plat
form and movies-have been used
in the campaign to date. The
answer will be given by the voters
when they mark their ballots at

Sacramento, calf, April 90
The Sharkey Oil Control act, under
ordinary circumstances, would not
have been voted upon until the No.
vember election.
The referendum was invoked
against the act after it had been
adopted by both houses of the
California legislature in 1881, and
signed by Governor Rolph. The
governor then requested E. B.
Reeser, former president of the
American Petroleum institute, to
make a survey of the oil industry
in the state.
In his report, Reeser said that
California's three billion dollar oil
industry was in chaotic condition
as a result of overproduction and
wholesale waste of oil. He con-
cluded by saying that equitable
proration contemplated in the
Sharkey act would assist in the
correction of present conditions"
Governor Rolph then called the
special election May 3 to decide
the question.
The campaign that followed has
been unique because of the big
names" drawn into the dispute.
Three governors-Rolph of Califor-
mia, Ross S. Sterling of Texas and
alfalfa Bill' Murray of Oklahoma
joined in a radio program, the
latter two telling of the success of
similar measures in their states.
Next day William Gibbs McAdoo,
secretary of the treasury under the
late President Wilson, took the
three governors to task for their
alleged misstatements, and de-
nounced the act in ringing terms.
Advocates of the act declared it
would stimulate employment, sta
bilize industry, increase confidence
and lead the way back to better
times. The opposition replied it
would increase unemployment, give
major oil companies stanglehold
on independents, and work to the
disadvantage of the public.
Defended By Rolph
Prices of gasoline under the act
was a widely discussed issue. Nc
Adoo charged that the proposed
commission would create an arti-
ficial shortage and boost the price
of gasoline. Governor Rolph coun-
tered that such a thing would be
unlikely because it would invite a
