Cincinnati Flood Warns Merchants as Prices Faced Prosecution
In Cincinnati the city manager warned merchants they would be prosecuted for raising food prices amid a flood. Roads remained open for produce, trains operated to outlying areas, and the river held at 92.8 feet as frantic appeals for aid poured in from central and northern Ohio. Thousands of residents were displaced, with 20,000 homeless in the city limits and 18,000 fleeing northern Kentucky towns. Refugees moved toward safer areas as power and gas stayed available though facilities near powerhouses were flooded.
