Springfield set a new record in that Buck creek reached a higher stage than in 1913, Massies creek came within six inches of the 1913 mark ac­ cording to papermil! employees. There was heavy damage "in some sections particularly on the Pennsyl- vania lines between Spring Valley and Cincinnati. The highway between Xenia and Dayton and Xenia and Cin­ cinnati was cut- off in a number o f places and traffic had, to detour over high ground. Tuesday morning Mr, W, C. Iliff took a force o f 26 men from here and 85 from Xenia to aid in re­ placing the washouts along the Pennsylvania road. The Pennsylvania sent • trains to Cincinnati by way of Dayton and the Big Four while the Big Four sent trains by way o f Day- ton and Xenia, to Columbus due to a washout n£ar Springfield, Dayton would no doubt have felt the damaging effect of the highwater this-year had it not'been for the pro­ tection afforded by the big dams. It is 1 Sdid that the dams'worked to per­ fection and each" had more water in them than anytime*.since they were constructed following the 1913 flood. The Miami river ■banks south of the city were overflowing and much prop­ erty was under water in the low land. The highways, in .many places suffered damage due to the swollen streams. Ditches refused to carry the water and roadbeds were washed away causing- the county and town­ ship road men as- well as the state highway department much work to Keep the roads open-for use. The gravel bank along the Columbus pike on the old Laughead farm caved and the break reached' neatly to the paved foad. The damage was repaired Wednesday by Micheal Ryan and the road creW. - Clifton experienced higher water than during the 1918 -flood and It is said that- the gorge had several flood, The roadway between the sec­ ond bridge and the race' was Washed away completely, - For a time the PreStod flour mill was completely stlr- rouhUOd by Water* DR.

Schick had a narrow escape from injury and probably death, last Friday evening when his automobile was hit by another car going south on Main street, Tho unknown car was traveling at a fast rate of speed and his the Dr’s, car in such & way that it skidded across the street and through the iron railing on the Main street bridge, , One wheel of the car had dropped over the edge o f the bridge while th 6 car was safely balanced. Bystanders seeing the accident hastened to give aid-and the car was pulled hack to the street. The car was somewhat damaged by being hit and also when the front tore the bridge railing away. The bridge railing has been frail for several years and did not require much of a force to wreck it. Had the car gone six inches farther it likely would have dropped to the bottom of tho creek.
