SEDIMENT
Cleaned From Fire Plugs
BY Pickard
Step Necessary Because of Little Use
To Which Pipes Are Put;
Citizens Puzzled

Superintendent of the Water Works
U. G. Pickard opened a number of
the fire plugs about the city Thursday
morning for the purpose of clearing
the sediment from the pipes. Most of
the plugs have not been put to use
for some time and as a result great
deal of sediment had collected in the
pipes leading to them.
If left in the pipes, this sediment
would probably collect in one place
and obstruct the flow of the water
through them. Consequently, a great
many of the plugs were opened.
Many of the citizens of Mt. Vernon,
seeing the water pouring from the
plug on the corner of Vine and Main
streets, were not able TO fathom the
object of this procedure and many
inquiries were forthcoming on the
subject.
