WATER VILE
Heavy Storm, Washes Out Watcr- , .,auun Ckwnnkc

v1llc streets.
 The heavy downpour of Satur- day afternoon assumed almost cloudburst proportions in the Wa terville section of the city and as usual the hill streets through this area were badly washed out. At the foot of; each hill large pools were formed during the height of the storm as drainage facilities, when installed. proved unequal to the task of rapidly carrying away the water. Streets in the Cooke street and Fairmount sections were badly washed out and lay deposits of silt and sand were noted on Homer street, Thomaston and Huntingdon avenue. At the intersection of the latter two streets there was the
 usual miniature lake which for a
 time, hindered to a great extent, the north south traffic on Thomas ton avenue. Early this year the city. agreed to correct the unsatis-
 factory drainage conditions exist
 ing at that point, but nothing de- finite has yet developed in the way
 of action in spite of the fact that the unsatisfactory and inconvenient
 situation follows any heay rain
 fall.
