HYDE PARK.

The Trustees met at o'clock yesterday after-
roon, Mr. Bensley absent.
Tie Village Engineer made verbal report as
to the PROGRESS Of work at the crib. The marine
diver had found that the engines did not DRAW
water from the cr1b at ALL Following the pipo
toward the shore, ut q distance Of 80 feet out, =
brea2 was dlscovered. Tho pipe was cut nearly
through, and the water was drawn from this
point, thus accounting for The quantity of shoro
sand drawn iulo the machinery. 1t
vas thought that tho break could be
eEaired, but the question OF protection
for the pipa WAS one tnat demanded attention.
An open winter would undoubtedly render tho
pipe use1esa aod the WateT supply pr5ca4 loua, ~
The anchor ice would dls1t aGasnss the pipe, and
crush or breax it. The tl.atness Of the tee lnst
winter was the only thing that saved the village
from heavy loss. Ilare Was little doubt IN tue
nluds OF tie engineers Of Lake and Hyde Park,
the marine diver, and those members Of tho
Lake Board who had investigated the matter,
that ath .u,l it WAS an expelslVe job, brsaS-
water would have to be constructed from the
shore to ths c11b. To ehis the CRIB could be a.
tached, and no t.ouple would be experienced in
the future.
The Engineer was instructed to make written
report as 10 tbs msaus NECESSARY for the rsotsc-
slun Of The lake ~ater-plpe at tho next meeting.
Fifteen pida were received for tho construction
OF tie sewer on FortY-thir1 s;reeE, from State to
