Down Wires In 1V. B.

SAINT JOHN, N. 3., Nov. If - \GP)— Lineuien struggled tonight

to restore communications dis- rupted Baturday night by New Brunswiors first snowstorm of

the season- For hours. Nova Sootia was almost isolated from wire communication with the rest of Canada.

The Canadian Press news cult from Montreal to Halifax op- erated only as far as Saint John until lute tonight. Then a wire was obtained to Moncton and Halifax. News circuits in Novu Scotia func- tioned without mishap.

Weighted by wet, clinging snow, wires broke and tore down un- counted poles. Most of the trouble

appeared to be between Saint John s‘

and Moncton- The latter city was without power until early tonight owing to crippled hydro lines from Musquash.

The snowfall amounted to little more than four or five inches but its slushy nature also disrupted traffic. Bus schedules were cancel- led Saturday night as n result a! slippery roads and generally dan- gerous driving conditions.

In addition, the st. John River had the highest autumn freshet in years following successful days of heavy rafn- Iow farmlands along the river were flooded but there was no report of the water reach- in; roads or causing extensive damage.
