In Decatur, the St. Mary’s apparently reached the high point of 22.59 feet at 5:30 p.m. as weath* er observer Louis Landrum reported the riyer at 22.53 as of 7 a.m. Wednesday, despite .19 inch of rain and snow last night. The onset of cold weather has curbed the threat of more rains to worsen the already treacherous conditions. Monmouth, Adams Central and Pleasant Mills schools were closed because of high water. the highest total rainfall in the

state was reported at Bluffton where 3.85 inches fell. Further reports were that the Wabash was expected to crest there sometime this afternoon. It was 15 feet at 11 a.m. Tuesday, with a 16 foot level expected. Six township schools were closed in Wells county. At Portland, the Salamonie river is being studied by a corps of Army engineers With the possibility that the river may be widened to end the flood threat there.
