EXTENDS.
Main Sewer at North Barre
in Bad Way.
WORK OF REPAIR IS SLOW
Street Railway Track May Be Moved
to One Side Of the Street
and Whole Section Of
Sewer Relaid.

The cave-in on the main sewer at North
Barre grows more extensive as the frost
leaves the ground, and there is now
an almost continuous slump for dis
tance of 100 feet, so that the men at
work on the job of repairing the breaks
no sooner get one piece uncovered before
they have to begin Gu another length.
Supt. of Streets Bruce is working as
many men as he conveniently can on
the job, but progress is necessarily slow.
1t has been talked and the plan may
be carried out, that the street railway
tracks along Main street from Sixth
to Silver street, be moved from the
centre of the street to the westerly side.
This would relieve the sewer main Of
considerable strain at a point where
the soil in which it lies is boggy and
shifting.
1t may be necessary to relay all the
main sewer this summer, between the
Smith, Whitcomb & Cook plant and
Sixth street, and if the car tracks are
moved to one side of the street it would
save an immense amount of inconveni-
ence.
1t has been suggested that IL the
saver is relayed it should be Of brick.
That the frost is getting out of the
ground in many places, was proven last
night by a break in a city water SER
vice pipe on Washington street in front
of the City Hotel The pipe connects
the fountains on the common, and not
being in use during the winter, froze in
and burst. The frost has left the ground
sufficiently to allow the ice iii the pipe
To thaw and the water soon made IL
way to the surface. Water Supt. Allen
had men at work on it promptly at
this morning.
