suit of CLIFFORD having fallen into a
pool of water while in an epileptlc mt.

sent to Mt Pleasant several months.
His condition grew so much better and
his conduct was so good that he was

stayed there several weeks. But he
started to drinking again and his parole
was accordingly revoked. After a stay
of but few weeks he escaped and re-

PIPES UP
Mayor Asks Questions About
Break In New Water
Main.


Mayor Fagan and President Jacob Rim
gle of the Board of Finance had talk
this morning with Garwood Ferris, engi-
neer in charge of the construction Of the
new water works, over the break in the
six foot steel water main which has been
laid across the bed of the Hackensack
River, through which the city will get
its new water supply.
The Mayor subsequently announced
that he requested the engineer to submit
a report to the Street and Water Board.
Board Of Finance and Mayor showing
what, in his opinion, caused the break.
how the pipe will be repaired and
whether it will be in as good condition
after being repaired as it was before.
Mr.. Ferris explained that the fracture
in the pipe may have been due to, first,
a flaw in the steel; second, inequality of
foundation, and, third, haste in lowering
the pipe into position.
Mr.. Pagan said that he wants the
water company to give some guarantee
that the main as repaired will be as
good as new before 1t is accepted by the
city, He said that there should be a
second pipe line leading from the water
works to the city.
The Street and Water Board long ago
insisted that there should be two pipes
but ex-Mayor Hoos and the Board of
Finance did not agree with the Commits
sioners and failed to approve their plans.
