SAND is SHIFTING In

Those connected with the water
board Of the village of Laurium are
considering some steps which WI
eradicate the sand nuisance i'm the
water pipes. Ever since the installa-
ton of meters. the sand has caused
considerable trouble. ana this has
been particularly noticeable during the
last fcw weeks There are now about
l25 meters in use i'm Laurium. and fire.
quently the sand stops meter from
running part of the time.
The current OF sand is said 10 be

Meeting with the water main which
runs from Calumet TO Lake Linden
the sand collected in the pipes on the
south end of the village, while the
mains on the north end were practical
~ free of sand. Since the new main
has been Installed however, more trou-
BILE is experienced on the north end Of
the town.
The solution 10 the trouble appar-
emily lies i'm its being reported at

the now of water is greatly reduced
and sometimes stops entirely. The
consumer should report the trouble so
that II can be cleaned and placed in
good running order. instead of waiting
until the regular time for reading the
meters. When a meter is found to be
stopped, the only present means of ar
irving at a proper estimate of the
amount of Eater consumed, is to use
the reading for the previous quarter,
and this is sometimes found unsats-

II was suggested at the Laurium

council secure "a meter tester, which
will make it possible for all of the
meters to be kept in proper running
