Beginning at two o'clock _with cecasional “rumblings = of taunder that gave indication 6f what was coming, the storm increased } intensity, until between 7 and 8 o'clock it raged at its fullest. For more than an hour the lightning flashed aimost_incessantly, the ecrashes of deafening thunder came one upan the other, and rain and hail beat dowm in torrents.’ Gradually the storm wore off, and city officials, raiircad em- ployes, and telegraps and telephone line- men hurried about the ¢ity preparatery to repair'ng the damage caused. As a rosult of the storm, ome of the busiest men -in Putnam Saturday was Frederick Dumas, commissioner cf streets. From all parts of the eity came reports of washouts, of clogged gutters and miniature floods. All of these had to be given immediate attention. Im or- der to make the storm-swept street pass- able as quickly as possible, Mr. Dumas put extra workmen on the job, and by noon the worst places nad been repaired. Mayor Allie W. Marcy, Otis Fox, chair- man of the city highway commigtee, and other members of the city council traveled about the city supervising the repair work and doing all ‘that they tion. Woodstock avenue from - _rsball to Green street was covered with dirt and turned the avenue into a river during the worst parts of the downpour. Under the Front street bridge the gutter out- Jets became clogged, and the street and trolley tracks under two feet of water. The railroad banking at the bridge on the norta side of Front street .was cut al- most completely away. A gully ten feet deep, and as many -feet across was cut by’ the rulh of surface water, and the ashes and gravel from this were carried into Front street and deposited. At onme point the sidewalk was covered with a three foot drift of this sediment, and the tracks (ol the Connecticut company were four inches helow the muody surface. A large force of rallroad employes = set avout cleaning. up tae damage, and by Saturday: night had practically completed task. A siding. of the New Haven railroad was undermined, hlll- this was soon repaired. Main ‘street in- front o( the Vietory theatre was’ under a foot of water after the storm has passed, but city employes soon cleaned out drains, and the water followed on through the natural channels. The damage by washouts on Oak Hill, Grand View and other high spots of the city was nat great. - Mayor Marcy, com- menting upon this after the . storm, said that many »of the stréets .in.these sec- tions of the city have been oiled this year could to get things back to normal condi- .
