the information yesterday and when

for sure that 1t was the gentlemen named

The cost Of the extensive and expen-
sive repairs to the broken sewer main
in front of the Wyoming house may
have to be paid by the John Handley
estate.
Street Commissioner Kinsley's in
vestigation yesterday led him to the
conclusion that the damage resulted
from break in an old water pipe con-
nected with the Wyoming house. which
has not been used for a number Of
years, as the water service is now
taken through large pipe on the Wy
oming avenue side Of the hotel. This
pipe was found to be broken and the
water which escaped from 1t, Mr.. Kins-
ley declares. caused the settling which
has been playing such sad havoc with
the sewer and the gas and water
mains in that locality.
In select council last night Mr.. Chit
tenden stated that when the cost of the
repairs and the damages are ascer-
tanned that the Handley estate will be
called upon to pay the bill.
