Spencer, March IA gang of men
under the supervision of c. H. Prouty
repaired the leak in the big water main
which extends between Sugden Library
and the house occupied by Walter L.
Haynes, this morning, and the water
was turned on by Water Commissioner
Billiard this afternoon.
BY order of Chairman of Seectmen
A. w. Curtis, part of the water supply
used as fire protection by the Isaac
Prouty Shoe Co., was shut off Sat
urday, and the big factory was without
an adequate supply Of water in case Of
fire. The pipe which sprung a leak is
on town property, but it supplies the
Prouty shoe shop and the question arose
as to whose duty it was to make the
needed repairs. The town officials re-
fused to repair the leak, as also did the
Prouty firm. Finally c. n. Prouty prom
ised to have the leak repaired Over
six weeks elapsed, however. before the
promise was fulfilled, and then it was
that Commissioner Billiard was author
lied to shut off the water.
This morning gang of men made ex-
cavations and stopped a small leak in
the eight-inch water pipe where two sec
lions of pipe are Joined.
