CONTINUE HUNT
FOR WATER LEAK
Break at Sixth and Market
Attributed to Heavy
Traffic
MODERN FIXTURES
SAVE OLD MAINS

Another opening was made In
Market street, at Tenth, this morn
ing, by the Water Department. for
the purpose Of locating the water
leak that made its appearance at
Ninth and Market streets some days
ago.
Chief Engineer S. n. Van Trump
Of the Water Department, said this
morning that the trouble on Market
street, except at Sixth street, was
caused by the rusting out Of service
connections long since abandoned
and which had been cut off at the
curb.
No trouble has developed with
the water main at any point except
at Sixth street. Here it was found
that, in paving the street, the centre
stone rested directly on the water
main. The constant hammering
caused by the passage Of heavy
trucks had loosened the sleeve. .
This has been repaired and no rur-
ther trouble is expected at that
point
The water main on Market street
has bee. found TO be in good condi-
tion wherever excavations have been
made, in spite Of the fact that the
pipe south of Ninth street was laid
in 1876. and that between Ninth and
Tenth streets was laid in 1877.
While the passage of heavy trucks
may be responsible for some of the
damage, little trouble from that
source is to be expected in the fu-
ture. as the police have been in
structed to enforce the rule Of the
Street and Sewer Department, which
forbids the use of Market street from
Front to Eleventh streets to all COM
mercial trucks. except in loading or
unloading passengers and freight on
that thoroughfare
