Flood disrupts Middletown area as Aeronca plant shuts
Floods from 2.15 inches of rain force Aeronca Manufacturing to shut down with 1200 workers unable to reach jobs while pumps operate at Manchester Machine Works and Sorg Paper Company reports only minor basement seepage. Water blocks roads around Franklin and Lyons roads with officials considering blasting a levee breach to divert floodwaters. Miami Conservancy District officials call for immediate river investigations as creek and canal systems respond to record rainfall. Notice of dissolution of the partnership among McGonigle Edwards and Beatty dated 1952 appears with limited local impact.
