Damage to the Lawrence waterworL

Damage 10 the Lawrence Waterworks.
LAWRENCE, Oct. PA break has been dis
covered IN the west bank of the north basin of
the new waterworks reservoir About rs feet
of the face wall is undermined and will have to
be relaid. There were six feet OF water in the
reservoir at the time of the break, a consdera-
BILE portion Of which found its way out into
Melvin's Pond, quarter of a mile distant,
raising the level of the pond about two feet:
The trouble was occasioned by springs and
quicksands in the soil behind the reservoir
wall. At its full height in the reservoir water
will stand at % feet and had it been filled to
anything like that level the consequences OF
break might have been serious. Measures are
to be taken at once to make the embankment
secure.
