The warns weather and'_ rain of last week c• ried away a great deal of snow, and t e both branches of the Maitland have • een very high, the prairie south of the own being complete. ly covered with w er. The cold snap ou Saturday has a owed the water to 1 get away and if th + balance of the snow'. does not go with : rush, Winghantites should not see at y damage from the floods. Part of t e mill dam at Blue - vale was carried way on Saturday after- noon and the D • nnybrook bridge has been washed do n the river over a mile. This bridge is to : e rebuilt this summer. Messrs. Walker Clegg, as well as resi- dents in the vioi ty of the upholstering factory were gtv .11 considerable incon- venience on acco • nt of the water flood- ing that section • the town. The old wooden drain at he north end of the town has broken in leveral places and refused to work thus'causing the high water. This is clear example of what benefit the tow • would have from a good sewer. The da; for the old Wooden drain is past anthe sooner this drain is replaced with a • ood large tile drain the better for all co eerned..
