WATER IN GROVE CEMETERY. The
city water was turned on at Grove Cemetery
Tuesday forenoon. The City Council, on
| of bo
authorized the laying of pipes and furnish
ing of water to the cemetery, and a contract
was made with JohnW Nash to do the work
! The Belfast Water Co. laid 6-inch main
| from the junction of Belmont and Lincoln
| vile avenues and set hydrant opposite the
main entrance to the cemetery. A service
pipe was laid to the meter Just inside the
gate, and from that a 2-inch pipe was laid
down the main avenue. Branches of I inch
pipe were laid to various parts of the yard
total of $500 feet. The pipes are laid from
few inches to feet under ground, as re
quired for draining. There is no danger of
| freezing, as the water will be shut off entire
| ly during the winter The wells and pump
will be kept in repair as before for use
Ii
the cemetery 81 self-closng spring faucets,
| standing about feet high. Under
| the outlet of each faucet is small
| block of marble, to keep the drip of the
water from wearing away the EARTH in
laying the pipe it was necessary to cut into
some sodded grounds, and Mr.. Nash did the
work SO neatly that no one would notice
that the sod had been disturbed. All traces
of the pipe laying work have been removed
| and the avenues cleared. Not single leak
was found in the whole system when the
pressure was turned on. Mr.. Nash is EN-
titled to great credit for the neat and
thorough manner in which he did the work
