WATER RUNS THROUGH LONDON STREETS
BURST MAIN CAUSES DELAY TO TRAFFIC
(BRITISH OFFICIAL WIXHLXM.) RUGBY, June 17. Remarkable scenes followed the bursting of a water main in the centre of London to-day. The neighbouring streets were soon several feet deep with a swirling tide, which swept into shops, flooded cellars and brought traffic to a standstill.
The tramway tunnel from Kingsway to the Embankment was flooded and the tramway service was dislocated over a considerable area.
