Show OVERFLOWING CREEKS. City Watermastcr Lorenzo I'ctl had a time this week keeping the streams of this city within bounds. The heavy wind last week filled all the creeks chuck full of solid snow, malting it next to impossible for the water to flow down them. Before Be-fore all this solidly packed snow could be shoveled out of the ditches, a good many overflows occurred. Sidewalks and streets were flooded, and when the cold nights came on the water was converted into ex-1 tensive patches of slippery ice. This unpleasant overflowing of the city creeks has been unusually infrequent in-frequent so far this winter. |
