The bill giving the state athletic chmmission control over amateur boxing and wrestling with its amendment exempting from such Jurisdiction educational institutions, was reported favorably and tabled for the calendar. A 10-minute senate session, In which the governor's report on the Connecticut commission on the uni- formity of statutes was read and re- ferred to the judiciary committee and concurrence in judgeship elec- tions was made, was held by the senate. ‘The governor's report appeared in the house yesterday. It was reported that the appro- priations committee, of which Sena- tor Christ, of New Britain, is chair- man, went this morning on its bi- ennial tour of inspection to the atate prison, Wethersfield.

JERSEY MILLIONAIRE DIES Palm Beach, Fla., Feb. 8 UP— Col. Anthony R. Keuser, millionaire resident of Bernardsville, N. J., and Palm Beach, died early today at “Los Incas,” his ocean-front resi- | dence here. General Willlam Booth started the Salvation Army standing on & soap AS LOOD SUBSIDES (Continued from First Page) rink, which released water in such quantities that the improvised sewer on the property of Joseph Fitager- ald was unable to carry it off, col- lapsed under the strain and asent the stream pouring out over the highway. Supt. O'Brien and a force of workmen remained on duty until the early hours of this morning, operat- ing pumps for the relief of thosc whose cellars were flooded. Metal Culvert Rreaks The only sewerage break of con- | sequence happened at 6:45 o'clock this morning when a 48-inch metal culvert ecarrying water from the Commonwealth avenue district to the outlet in Stanley Quarter park broke, and with a loud ring of twisting metal, two sections uproot- ed themselves from the earth and shot upward several feet. Ingineer Merian's theory of the break is that the flood waters on the l2nd over the main subsided during the night, releasing the pressurc which had held the culvert down| during the day and that the force of the water still traveling at high pressure was too great to withstand. He agreed with Mr, Kilbourne that the break might have been prevent- ed had the land about the culvert been filled in to greater depth when it was built. Avalanche of Stone and Brick When the force of the flow from the main line beginning at Corbin avenue, and including Myrtle and Main streets, and Hartford avenue, teached the outlet on Stanley street, near the Vibberts property, it bowled over nearly a ton of stone and brick which made up an old abutment, tore out the foundation under the Fairview cemetery fence and caused out 25 feet of the fence to drop. The stone and brick were carried about 50 feet downstream. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen J. Straker, residents of Vance street, went through fire o 1d water in one week. On Thursday of last week, fire caus. ed heavy damage in their apartment at the corner of Lyons and Monroe streets, when the property of Nath- an Schooler suffered a $4,500 loss. They moved such of their furnish- ings as were not destroyed to the Vance street dwelling, storing a por- ' FLORENZ NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, FERRUAKY tion of it in the cellar. Yesterday, thess belongings were floating about the bs ment -hen the overtaxed brooks of the locality sent the storm ‘water backing up over the district. Waats Arch Street Dam Removed City Engineer Morian will suggest as a remedy for the problem of the southwestern section of the city, that the American Hardvare corpora- tion's dam at the foot of Arch street be taken down to allow of uninter- rupted flow of the storm waters. It is his theory that less impounding of water will bring relief. The Stanley Works and the Skin- ner Chuck Co. plants were operating today on full schedule. Yesterday's flood, resulted in a suspension of work, but the difficulties were rem- edied during the day. Estimates Damages at $10,000 City Engineer Merian today placed an estimate of $10,000 on the dam- |age done to streets and sewers and on the cost of cleaning debris from catch basins. This figure of loss will probably be muiltiplied several times over by the damage to houses, lawns and au- tomobiles. Repairmen were kept busy today reconditioning heating plants submerged by the flood, the damage to the electrical mechanism in oil heaters being particularly heavy. The officlal reading for the rain- fall, taken from the apparatus atop the . municipal building is 2:69 inches. Without hearing any read- ing, official or otherwise, Engineer Merian had estimated it at 2:75, six one-hundredths off. Equal to 15 Inches of Snow Reckoned on engineering for. mulae, this fall is the equivalent of 15 inches of snow. Had the weather been colder the cost of restoring normalcy to traffic would have been many times that of flood relief, be- sides demoralizing traffic of all de- scriptions, the engineer pointed out today.
