PARIS, Oct. 17.——-Dispatches from
the center and south of France today,
all confirm the worst reports of the
destruction caused by the floods. The
river Loire, Rhone and Boone and
their tributaries are raging torrents
causing in some places the highest wa
for ever recorded. In hundreds of cl-
tles and towns the water is from two
to ten feet high in the streets, result-
ing in great distress.
' Railroad traffic is utterly disorganiz-

washed away and the stations are un-

Fortunately the storm center is mov-

od of Twelve Years
Wm
H. Macdonhid sent out to the select-
men of ‘all the teams in the state yes-
terday an especially arranged chart
roads and repairs made by the state
during the past twelve years, the
charts to be returned to the com-
missioner for use in his office. - - , 1
The charts, which are about 30 by
18 inches, contain seventeen questions
concerning the condition of the roads
in the town in each of the last twelve
years and a separate column is al-
lowad for each year’s report. The
questions asked are as follows: On
what main highway or highways was
the improvement by the state appio
prlatlon made? Between what points?
Distance improved? What was the
character of the improvements made
grading, gravel or macadam? How
many sections were improved each
year? How is the travel path now?
Are the gutters open or filled up?
is the brush well back of the gutters
or does it need cutting? How are the
bank slopes in the cut and in the fill?
is the material convenient with which
to repair the read? In what condi-
tion are the culverts and do they need
repair? When was the read last re-
paired? Could the state let a repair
contract to anyone in town? Would
the board of selectmen' like to take
the contract? Has your town a shrink»
ling wagon? (live only general infor~
mation you may have.
It can be seen that if these questions
are all answered after a personal in-
vestigation by“ the selectmen, 1 the
highway commissioner will have a
valuable and complete record of the
condition of.‘ the roads in all parts of
the state and particularly of the re

to the various questions so that the
selectmen will understand Just what
is required. Commissioner MacDonald
has also sent to the selectman, by way
of explanation, a letter reading as
follows:'.

a certain amount of nervousness lest
