The disaster was due to heavy in abe normally warm weather. Although at least 30 persons were dead and material dam- age ran into staggering sums, it was feared that when full news of the catastrophe which overtook Montpelier,: Vt., bes came ae) the list of water victims might be greatly: inte creased. An unconfirmed report via White River Junction, Vt.,-said that the collapse of a reservoir had caused many deaths. The estimates in these reports ran from 187 to 212, : News Comes by Radio 5 The first contact of Vermont's capital with the outside world ea the flood came from an Associated Press cor- respondent operating over a radio station which depended power from doorbell batteries. Bis aia The message of L. A. Kelty told of 10 reported dead in the neighboring city of Barre, including the lieutenant: gove ernor of the state, S. H. Jackson. In Montpelier there was no check on loss of life.
