Broken Water Main
Holds Up Traffic
On Boston Bridge

Boston, Dec. 1S.-The bursting Of a
low pressure water main on the Beacon
street bridge crossing the main line
Of the Boston C Albany Railroad to-
night flooded the tracks. held up traffic
for an hour tied up street traffic and
deprived thousands Of families and
business houses in many sections Of
the city Of water.
An automobile truck that was cross
ing the bridge at the time was caught
in huge column of water and thrown
across the roadway. The driver was
unhurt and the truck suffered no dam
age. A street car also was on the bridge
at the time but was untouched by the
water
The cause of the breai, is not known
but it is thought that an excavation
made by the metropolitan Water Di-
vision preparatory to laying a new
main may have been responsible. The
excavation served to carry off much OF
the escaping water.
A humorous feature of the accident
was that many families deprived of
water protested to the city treasurer
against the cutting off of the water,
under the impression that it had been
done because of arrears Of taxes.
Three hours after the break water
was being supplied to the affected fam
Ines through another main.

To Relief Fund Grant Family

The employees of the II. p. Clear
water Company, with whom Miss
Mabel Grant. victim OF the fatal Slid
ing accident in Augusta had worked

be perhaps a more real expression Of
sympathy to send to the stricken
family a sum in cash rather than the
usual flowers. and made plans to con-
tribute for this purpose. Mr.. Clear
water, with his usual generosity Of
fered to add two dollars to each dol
lar raised. The employees raised
sa3.50. Mr.. Clearwater contributed
SCI, and the amount of $100.5D was
totaled for the fund. as an expression
Of real and practical sympathy in this
time OF trouble.
