The Mercer sector today was experiencing Its highest water In a number of years.

All four streams, the Greenville run. Otter Creek, Coolsprlng Creek and the Neshannock Creek, have passed the flood stage and have spread over practically the entire East End. One family, that of William Graham, on East Market Street, was removed last night by the East End firemen. All cellars In that part of town are flooded and the water is surrounding the homes. The recent widening of the channel of Otter Creek at the new bridge in East Market Street has relieved the situation to some extent.

On Wilson Avenue, Mercer-Grove Mty road, 15 inches of water was passing over the pavement last night. The water level had fallen several nches this morning and the road was open to traffic at the drivers' risk. To the south of Mercer the Neshannock had spread over all the lowlands. There has been but slight damage, however. In outlying rural districts all streams have passed the flood stage and fields resmble lakes.

The rain was continuing this morning. except for the exclusions set out in tho internal revenue letter above. For the convenience of employers, a system of wage bracket deductions has been authorized.
