Old Man River and Mrs. Banks chummed together for years. 1 hey had lived side by side for a long, long time and the idea that mere man, with a few hundred pounds of i dynamite could tear asunder such | close relationship in a few seconds, i just didn’t appeal to them, i With state and railroad officials , and thousands of persons, many of ' whom had nothing else to do. looking on, the dynamite was planted to blow open the new channel of I White river between Morris and Raymond streets. Flood Prevention Move The move was part of the flood j prevention and track elevation programs to straighten the channel ! south of the new' Belt railroad bridge. Everybody pressed back. “Watch | out for the explosion, - ’ was the word passed along. | And then—a “poof.” It resembled the sound made by a cat and dog | “fizzer” children make when the | fuses of small firecrackers prove ! worthless. Dust and some dirt rose j into the air. But old man river didn't move, j Mrs. Banks had not had enough of | a shock to disturb her frills. Crowd Pressed Forward I The crowd that awaited the exj plosion pressed forward. The river | looked up complacently and reached over and* touched Mrs. Banks. They j still were safe. Finally abandoning the dynamite I route man turned to Old Man River i to shatter the house of his neighbor, i Fire hose that spurted a small J stream of water and a fifteen-inch i water line operating from a pump ; on a derrick barge that sat on Old ! Man River’s face, opened the new ; channel after more than an hour.
