water Mains and sewers About the
city Freeze or Burst, Causing
Houscholders n Great Deal
of Inconvenience.

The plumber was the busiest man in
Council Bluffs yesterday and the Sabbath
knew no rect for him. The call for plumbers
all over the city is unprecedented and the
demand far exceeds the supply. Every man
who knows anything about the trade is sure
of a job these days and IL willing to work
overtime can keep right along without stop
ping to eat or sleep.
The continuous cold weather with the
thermometer at from 10 to 20 degrees below
zero. has wrought havoc with the water
and sewer pipes all over the city. AS stated
before, the supply of plumbers in the city
is far inadequate to meet the demand and
many a household has to go without water
these days or else haul from the premises
of some friendly neighbor. who is fortunate
enough to have escaped having his pipes
frozen and bursted.
The head of one of the largest plumbing
establishments in the city said yesterday
that he had been compelled to positively
refuse to take another order until the work
in hand has been completed His firm has
enough orders on hand now to keep all the
men they can secure busy for the next week.
Never before in his experience has so much
damage been done TO water and sewer pipes
and hsating plants by the cold and it will
take several weeks before the damage can
be repaired. In several instances where
the men have been called TO look after
