Rain Comes Down in Sheets,‘

Much Damage. i
Today's storm attempted yo rival
that of a week ago. but its alIt-lilpls
Wore unavaiiing except at times when
will in practically solid sheets swept‘
across the sidewalks and the Sound
and harbor. Then. and only then. did
it remind one of last \I’ednestlay's'
storm. i
One of the I’Pit'iOl’lfi that todtiy's‘
Norm Was not as bad as that of a
week ago was because of the ab-
..ence of wind. There was rain:
enough. for that matter, evcn ntore'
titan a buck ago, but the wind was
absent and so the much desired re-
minder oi his power that old Jupe'
i'luvius had prepared for Norwitilwrs
and others today went for naught.
The rain, which was exceptionally
heavy at_ times. brought down small
branches. and about all of the leaves
that had. been left on the trees. It
made walking very disagreeable so
that the streets were practically de-
serted and it created deep pools in
several places. The gutters quickly
decided that when they were.choked
by leaves that "l-‘ water couldn't oc-'
copy them. too. lliiil so many a titer
was found alongside a curb stone.
The drains in St me streets. being
also choked by lt‘at'es. couldn't, carry
oil the water fast enough and so that
drainage of the streetszlcft bit: ponds
of water that measured. in some in
ounces; its much as six feet acrotts
bi fifteen feet long.
