PATCHING
Up LEAKS

Water Commissioner O'Brien,
following an investigation of the
Mantle hill wooden water system,
reported this morning that seven
leaks had been found and repair
ed in the Grinnell system. He
stated that the fault was not In the
pipe, but in the manner in which
it was laid. The investigation was
the outcome of the Country club
fire a few days ago when the club
burned to the ground owing to the
fact that there was no mater when
the fire department arrived. The
commissioner also found a two
foot piece OF pipe In the city's
wooden main system on Division
st. from Seventeenth to Eighteenth.
This pipe was in good condition ex-
cept for a break which looked as
though heavy rock had fallen
upon 1t in laying.
Two men Of the water repair de
partment are to be kept at work
locating and repairing leaks. The
commissioner says he believes the
leaks in the vicinity of Mantle hin
are general. Several real estate
companies own the water systems
there.

RALSTON'S Ak
COMES DOWN
AT CITY HALL

e. E. Quinn, foreman of inspec-
tors, was discharged from the city's
employ yesterday by the board OF
works on recommendation of the
city engineer, who alleged that his
work was unsatisfactory and he
was insubordinate in that he re-
fused to report to the engineers
office. Fred Crandall, chief assist
ant engineer, is now overseeing
work of the inspectors.
Today Tom Joyce, also an in
spector, quit his job. Several 9TH
ers are expected to follow. Until
Joyce decided to resign 1t was not
generally known that he was work
ing as an inspector Joyce Is the
man whom Mayor Moore tried so
hard to have named as inspector
of weights and measures. Failing
in this, the mayor sent Joyce to the
board Of works and he was quietly
given an ispector Job by Commits
sioner O'Brien two months ago.
Now the Ralston cleaning out
program appears to have hit the
mayors favorite in some way. al
though Joyce was not removed. He
says he has better job.

night. At Ninth and Monroe, where

feet deep. it was reported.
The explanation given at the
water department is that new
pumps were being tested and the
overflow was unavoidable. Damage
suits against the city are liable to
also become unavoidable II the nut
sance is not abated. A small edi-
ton of the river ran down the
street last night.
