FROZEN WATER PIPES
Trouble with Hydrants and Services 1lslI
Some Remedies Suggested.

Trouble with Hydrants and Services Mains
SOmo Remedies Suggested.
From all parts of the city come COM
plants Of frozen and bursting hydrants
and supply mains, and the festive plumber
and the city water official have their hands
full, while not few water-renters have
their cellars full of water. Last night
Superintendent Kitch and number of his
men were on duty all night closing up the
leaks, and to day they arc still at it, while
every plumber in town is Over-run with
orders. Following are few Of the leaks
reported.
ii. +. Slaymaker, Duke and Chestnut,
service pipe burst, and cellar flooded AL.
Fulmcr's saloon, Centre Square, ditto;
Alderman Spurrier's hydrant frozen
Capt. Phil. Sprecher' ditto John Brown.
West King street, service Pipe broken;
Chas. Knapp's hydrant burst; G. Killers,
Plum street, ditto; Mr.. Cress, West King,
near Mary, service pipe burst Mr.. Hos
tetter, West Chestnut street, ditto.
The reason given for nearly all these
bursts is bad plumbing" and the suffer
els want to know whether there is no
cffectual preventive Of the annually re-
curing annoyances from broken pipes.
Probably all, or nearly all, of them could
better quality, laid somewhat deeper in
the ground SO as to avoid the frost, and a
little more care taken by the plumber in
making the joints and other attach
ments. Pipes above the ground should
be enclosed in wooden boxes and
packed with saw-dust or cork shaw
ings, or better still with asbestos.
Outdoor hydrants should be covered with
straw or old carpet. A paper toot'
made out Of old newspapers, and large
enough to cover the entire hydrant and
reach to the ground, will prevent hy-
drant from freezing even when the mer-
curry is at zero. This is preventive with
in the reach Of all. Some people prevent
their hyd-ants freezing by permitting them
to run little during very cold weather.
This may do where the hytlrant wastes
into sewer, but should never be done
where there Is u surface drainage as it
tends to clog the cutters; besides 1t is
Of law to allow the water to
waste.
Complaint is made that the school chill
dren sometimes allow the hydrants at the
public schools to flow for an hour or more
