The report is as follows:
| Mr. President; Gentlemen of the Board:
Some singular discoveries have been made
lately In various parts of the country with
reference to the perishablity of iron,
water, or gas pipe, that have been dug up,
are found to have virtually crumbled to
| pieces In a way never noticed before. The
phenomenon is regarded as something of
mystery, and the most plausible theory
advanced concerning it Is that that the
pipeing has been laid in the vicinity of
electric wires ana that the electric current
has had the effect of disiutergrating it by
corrosion. The object Of this report is TO
| call your attention to the fact that three
different sets of service pipe have
DStu lulu III TIE 1aFA SCupOl WlLuIu
the last three years, within Que block of an
electric power house. The water main
| from which this service pipe starts Is on
the corner of Park and Main streets and is
the terminus of the main; from thence he
service-pipe runs north on Main, opposite
Park school, thence west into the building.
The electric currents also effects the iron
steam pipe in the building and has at
times lntertered with the circulation OF
the water in the heater. The remedy ia
this case should he applied by the electric
railway company by putting on larger
wires between the rails To conduct the
current back TO the power house, or your
board can insulate your servlce-pipe.
Respectfully submitted.
