Street Flooding in Calcutta-Almost every year during the rainy season from May to October, some of the streets in Calcutta are flooded knee-deep after a heavy shower of rain and traffic is held up or dislocated, thus causing great inconvenience to the public. The blame for this state of affairs is often attributed to those in charge of the city's drainage. But we have evidence that the problem of efficient storm water disposal has been constantly exercising the minds of the city's Drainage Engineers: and now we have before us (published elsewhere in this issue) a paper on the subject, entitled "Street Flooding in Calcutta and Proposed Remedies," read before the Association of Engineers on the 11th March 1938 by Mr. P. C. Bose, Executive Engineer, Drainage Department of the Corporation of Calcutta.
