Fully fifty families located at the ends
OF frozen side pipes are shut on from me
water supply now and the number has
so far increased rather than diminished
| from day TO day. Friday the water stopped
running at DR.. G. j. Rumrillis on Prospect
avenue and the pipe was found TO be
/ frozen between the shutoff and the house
Thawing operations were instituted when
/ a leak was discovered which wasted gal
\ Ions OF water before II could be stopped.
I In order to prevent further waste in this
way the commissioner have ruled that no
one shall be allowed to thaw pipe that
/ has been frozen more than few hours,
| as il Is impossible to calculate the amount
1 OF mischief which may result. The mains
are all open with the exception of the one
on Summer street, which is probably
/ frozen at the south end as none OF the
/ houses on that street south OF V. J.,
spears and Charles Griswold's have
water running. On Railroad street p. p.
I lamsonis is the only house where the
water runs and on Fales street but three
I houses are supplied.
