Bursted Pipe Costs SIP Daily
Through the good work of Alvin P
Peterson, city plumbing and water in
spector, a source of considerable wat
er loss was discovered in the west end
late yesterday and checked. For
years, evidently, city water that might
have been diverted into more proper
channels has been bursting from an
inch and half main sunk in a layer
of sand and rock along Railroad ave
nue. between Tenth and Eleventh
streets. 1t has been coursing through
one of the few abandoned watermains
of the city's system and at the ordi-
nary rate of computation the flow
from the pipe would amount to
cost of about $12 daily if a meter
record were used.
