Considerable excitement was caused at
noon Monday by the caving in of Sec
ton of concrete, about 5 by 3 feet, in
Post office square over the old reservoir.
No one was near it at the time although
a dray with wood saving machine was
only few feet distant. To allay the
nervous fears of some people the water
was pumped out by the steam fire engine
and the reservoir examined. AS it took
only seven minutes to pump it completely
dry, it was decided to fill it in with rocks
and earth. 1t was fortunate that there
was no loss of life or property as this
place must have been dangerous for
years, and was near the walk to the post
office
