ICE JAM AT PORT MAITLAND—Residents along the lower end of the Grand river breathed easier when the ice jam at Port Maitland, said to have been the worst since 1930, broke late Saturday afternoon and released the flood waters which had marooned families, inundated farm lands and blocked highways. Photograph shows a glimpse of the jam in Port Maitland harbour just after it started to move out to the lake. Piece,>! of boards and timbers among the ice cakes indicate some of the damage done to docks. A highway sign seen on the ice read: "Keep to the Right," while another sign, standing upright, read: "No Trespassing." Trees, fence posts and wrecked boathouses were swept out to the lake in the ice. The fishing boat seen at the right was shoved up on its wharf by the ice but was not thought to have been damaged.
