Water Works Commissioner
Refutes Fake Story Print
ed in Morning Paper
BIG MAIN is IN USE
Tanks Were Not Tempered
With During Tests
BY An Expert.


Captain Hugh callaghan, water
work commissioner. is quite indig-
nant over an ARTICLE appearing in
the morning newspaper today. in
which some contemplate Insinua-
tions are made against him and 9th.
ers, in reference to tests recently
made of the water pressure here by
a hydraulic expert for the informa-
ton OF the committee and board in
terested in the Improvement OF the
water works system for the beneft
of the citizens of clarksburg general
ly.
These tests as stated by Captain
Callaghan, were witnessed by R. n.
Lowndes. w. B. Osborn, Mayor E. j.
Wood, Councilman J.rJ. Connell and
others. Tests were made at the
junction Of Main and Fourth streets.
at the junction of Pike and Florence
streets, at the Glen. Elk hotel corner
and at the corner OF Fourth and Bal
ttmore streets in Glen Elk. The
pressure was found to he better ex-
cept in Glen Elk than for some time.
but poor in Glen Elk by virtue os
the small pipes and the heavy con-
sumption during the day.
AT the request of Mr. Lowndes, Mr..
Callaghan says, Hubert Callaghan
was sent to the tanks to make obser-
vations of the effect the tests might
have on the water stage in the tanks.
Captain Callaghan refutes the asser.
tion that the tanks we're in any man
ner tampered with while the tests
were made, and declares that Hubert
did pot touch even a valve.
As to the misrepresentation in ref
erence to the big main, Captain Cal
laghan points out the fact that con.
nections have been made with 1t at
Chestnut. Sixth. Fourth, Third, Sec
ond, Elk and Oak streets, and bnt
nine joints of the pipe are not in op.
peration so far as connections are
concerned for the reason that the city
has been enioined at that point by .
Mrs. Caroline M. Jackson.
The big main is not connected
with the tanks for the reason that
At least one tank must he empty be-
tore the connection can be made. It
was not the part of wisdom to do
his during the drought and the
same was delayed for an opportune
line. Captain callaghan hopes to
make the connection next week.
