TIONAl PROBATION.
PILING TO BLOCK
ICE FROM BIG PIPE
Fear That Floating Ice or Logs
Brought Down by High Water Might
Damage Water Main, Causes Coun-
Gil to Act-PiIing to Be Driven at
Mouth Of Channel.

Fear that ice. loss trees or other
rubbish brought down by high water
night threaten the big main that car
ries water from the city wells to the
pumping station caused the city coun
Gil to authorize an additional precau-
ton to protect it at the meeting this
forenoon. 1t instructed Councilman
VI. 5. Mcfarland, superintendent Of
the department, to drive a row of pill
ing at the upper mouth of the channel
over which the water main is hung.
The resolution authorizing the work
says the piling is to he driven about
six feet apart. They will be sunk
across the channel at the point where
the water from Asher creek pourS out
of the old creek bed into the channel
under the pipe line.
The dam built below the water main
has proved a failure so far. as it has
been undermined and sunk. and did
not back up the water over the pipe to
protect it. During the recent mild
weather a gorge of ice piled up at the
upper mouth of the channel, backing
the water up behind it. For time ii
threatened the pipe line. but did no
damage. It is to prevent such a re-
currance and TO stop floating objects
from tanning the piles that support
the pipe line that the piling has been
ordered driven.
