At the township line, southwest of McHenry, water remained ovef the roadbed in places for several days and acres of farm land were under water, with crops ruined and fields wrecked. Below the dam in Fox river sloughs were covered to resemble one huge lake and the "dam was scarcely discernible as the water surged over it I at a level, filling the lock and flowing around it. Piers Under Water Piers at the - Hunter Boat factory and all alongj the river were under water as the river eontinud to " rise as swollen crjeeks brought water rushing from adjoining farm lands. In driving through a slough near Lake Defiance a motorist reports that it was necessary to stop his car to prevent running over the carp floundering in the water and many roadbeds are washed away and* impassable. At the peak of the downpour it is reported that the river rose a foot within an hour and raised sixteen inches during the night At Woodstock hundreds of trees were uprooted, tearing up sidewalks and blocking streets. Basements were flooded, water rising to the first floor and the Woodstock Typewriter factory was unable to open Monday because of the water. Dufield's lake, east of Woodstock, overflowed, the flood waters reaching a quarter of a mile beyond their banks and washed out nearby roads. Near Harvard on Route 1*73, motorists were caught in stalled automobiles where water rose over the seats of the cars and occupants, unable to leave their cars were in fear of drowns ing. In the wake of the storm, waterladen highways are being repaired and residents are drying out basements, while farmers scan their fiefds with an anxious eye as crops lay flat or have disappeared altogether as a result of one of the worst storms which has swept this vicinity in many years. • ^ APPOINTED LESION CARNIVAL TO BE HELD 4 HERE AND 5 Plans for the big Legion Carnivat to be held ory the Fourth of July weekend are > progressing rapidly and it i» expected that .many thousands of va* cationists and pleasure -seekers will be attracted to McHenry at that tiige.
