WATER MAIN BURSTS
'LONDON SHOPS FLOODED TRAMWAY SERVICE DISLOCATED (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, June 17. (Received June 18, at 5.5 p.m.) Remarkable scenes followed when a water main burst in the centre of London to-day. The neighbouring streets were soon several feet deep with the 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 a dislocation of the tramway service resulted over a considerable area.
