 With prohibition and empty water pipes, Stafferd Springs was really dry on Saturday evening lasting through Sunday and in the higher parts of the town until Tuesday morning. A break was discovered on Ruby road over near Roaring brook and the watermen had labored industriously to mend the leak with fair success until the rain caused the water to rise in the pipes and made useless the plumbers work. The pipes ran dry about two o'clock on Saturday afternoon. By four thirty o'clock the pipes were repaired and water had begun its journey towards the borough. Owing to the distance the fluid had to travel and to the em- ty condition of the storage reservoir at the head of StaffrOd Street, no wa ter reached all the pipes along the streets until Monday afternoon. The water system is now in fair cOndi- ton. The pressure is somewhat weak
 
 tentiOn to leaky valves and joints will soon bring the service lack to it's normal condition. Private wells and springs did their utmost to supply water during the shortage. Fails and tubs were called into use. The streets of the borough were unsprinkled du- ring the early part of the week owing to the lack of adequate watering facil- ities.
