DOZEN STATES
ON EAST COAST
Twelve Lives Known to
Have Been Lost—Property
Damage Heavy
(By Associated Press)
Clearing skies in many sections
gave hope of an early end of ruinous
floods and rain storms which
took 12 lives and caused property
and crop damage totaling millions
of dollars in one dozen states.
New England was the hardest hit.
A week-long downpour sent
rivers out of their banks all along
the Atlantic seaboard.
The damage is conservatively
placed at $3,000,000. The tobacco
crop loss in Connecticut is placed
at $1,000,000.
Similarly heavy tolls were exact-
ed from crops in Massachusetts and
Rhode Island.
Textile mills are shut down
in many towns, throwing thousands
of persons temporarily out of work.
Hundreds of families are home-
less in Massachusetts, Rhode Is-
land, Connecticut and New York.
