Other bridges aboft the city are also in a shaky condition, Ten Antomobiles Stranded At the Plainville switch, just be- low the Perestville center, ten motor cars are stuck in the water that has flooded the highway. More than four feet of water has “sunk” the state highway without & trace, ia this (locality, The Memorial here is also awash, Washouts on the city streets are keeping a flood of calls for aid at the ecity offices.

The usually quiet Pequabuck river, swollen by rain and melted snow, had become a torrent that refused to stay within the banks.' Photos show scenes along the streets where autos were barely able to breast the flood*before it had reached its peak. On scene depicts the New Britain General hospital am- bulance coming through the street. Another shows a yard slightly lower than the road, with two or three cars nearly under water, The third depicts living conditions about the houses, favhere one man had his cow parked on the front porch and was moving his household effects from the lower to the upper story of his home in case of further rise. I The Pequabuck river which flows {beside the road has caused the over- |flow which for hours completely stop- |ped traffic over the highway. Auto- |moblles were sunk in the middle of the flood and ounly the most daring drivers were able to get through. ‘Trollvy traffic between Forestville and {Bristol was stopped and all traln {traffiec between here and Bristol was |stopped until after ) o'clock this /morning, officia f the rallroad find- ing it necessary te route trains through New Haven. The water was flowing along the ,road with a swift current, giving the impression that & large dam was broken at some point beyond Bristol and residents along the foreed to the upper stories of their homes to escape the rising torrent. | Several families who owned Iive- istock were forced to bring their horses and cows onto the verandas of their homes to save them from drowning and thousands of dollars worth of farm implements and loose lumber were carried away before the owners were able to secure them, The entire surrounding country was under water when dawn broke this morning and the flood gave every in- dication that it would be worse before the day was out. The Pequabuck or- dinarily is little over ten feet wide at this point, but & sea of water was visible this morning. Hundreds of chickens were drowned in the rush of waters and all sorts of debris could be seen floating @own the river bed. Residonts were forced to use im, provised rafts in order to get ll'oun({ the houses becauss several men had narrow escapes from being carriéd wuy this morning, One man, who e attempts to get to his barn, ped off the veranda steps and v into water up to his sholilders. The strength of the durrent carried him off his feet but he was able to get back in safety. It was found nec- essary to tie ropes onto the rafts and anchor them to the pillars on the houses to keep them from being car- | ried away. The roadbed has been washed away in several spots and travel over the ; will probably be ordered until the water recedes suffi- crertly to find out the condition of the Lines of automobiles were in the road and the owners marooned waiting for help to them Bristol Bras Plant Closed Peeause of high water the entire plant of the Pristol Brass corporation s forced to close early this after o 1t 18 éstimated that there are 450 telsphones out of commission. resdbed ied were reach SUES FOR $150.000, New Haven, April 7.—A suit In damages of $150,000 are ciaimed was entered today by Mrs. Anna M.
