The bursting Of water main on
West Main street, Immediately west
of the Northwestern railroad track
last Thursday night, was not discov-
cred till Friday morning. Inves-
tigation at the power house showed
that the water in the standpipe had
all run out, which would have made
it very dangerous had there been
a fire during the night There
was a perfect deluge of water near
where the break occurred, and the
earth for a considerable distance
around was thrown up in great guam
titles. The crack in the pipe I'M
doubtedly took place during the hard
freezing weather, and it was let loose
by the late thaw. On examination
by Superintendent Fix, cracks have
been found in the pipe in several
places, and it may be necessary to
dig up considerable of it to insure
thorough repairs.
