KEYpORT HAS
SMALL FLOOD
Trouble in Tapping Main
TroIleys Are hampered.
speotnr TO IN. EVENING NEWS.

Special TO the EVENING NEWS.
Keyport, Mar. 25.-Trouble was
experienced Saturday afternoon in
the tapping of the water mains at
the corner of Waverly and First
streets by workmen employed by
Patsy Antico, who has the contract
to lay water pipes through Waverly
street. The workmen supposed that
they had the gates shut in the system
and removed the plug from the end
of the water mains to tap them. On
taking the tap out they found that
the gates were not shut off and a
small flood of water emerged from
the pipe, filling the trench and ran
down the street.
On investigation it was found that
the gates in the system were all
closed but the one in Fulton street.
This allowed sufficient water pres
sure to cause this trouble. The troll
ley system of the borough was some
what hampered for nearly two hours
as passengers were obliged to be
transferred around the break from
one car to another. The damaged
pipes were repaired and the come
ton made before the men left work,
Saturday night.
