FLOOD WATERS 0 DOWN IN CANADA Large Property Damage Cansed Six Lives Lost Montreal, Que.,, April 10 (A— Flood waters, which had taken six lives, four men and a mother and her babe, and caused large property damage in the provinces of Quebec, Ontarto and New Brunswick, were receding today as cold weather set- tled down, checking seasonal melting of ice and snoW. Some suburbs of Montreal were still under water, caused by a huge fce jam in the St. Lawrence river, but conditions were improving. e Mother and Sou Drown A mother and her infant sor were drowned in the swollen waters of a creek near North Bay, Ont., at the height of a blizzard as the husband rescued another son and vainly at- tempted to save them. Railway service was near normal again. Several washouts on the lines of the Canadian National railway in New Brunswick were expected to be repaired before nightfall. - Boats were used to take residents from their flooded homes in Longue Pointe, a suburb of Montreal, and a priest celebrated mass there for a congregation which had assembled in boats which they moored to the church steps. The power plant at North Bay, Ont., waas again in operation and ef- forts to save the plant at FParry Bound, menaced by the bursting of a dam in the Seguin river, appeared to be succeeding. The village of Kinmount was in d:;rkness but residents were lh:mk-‘ ful that the bursting of the dam on the Burnt river which carried away its power house, had removed the flood danger for the present. Dog teams and cutters again had taken the place of boats at Saute Ste. Marie, Lindsay, North Bay, Orilla and Cravenhurst as heavy snow fell and falling temperatures again froze over the swollen streams, BOYS DAMAGE PROPERTY Complaint was made to the police last night that boys have done dam- age in tenements at 414-416 Arch street, owned by M. R. Malinowski of Lawlor street, also that damage has been done by boys to a house being built at the corner of East street and City avenue by Salvatorc Matarazzo of 877 East street.
