Repairs Necessary on Pipe Crossing

The village water will be shut off
Saturday morning for period of two
hours on Beech and Main streets

be stated at this time as Superin-

P. Hogan are in Troy today for the
purpose of securing the necessary
fixtures to repair the pipe that cross

The heavy cars and extra traffic
over the bridge have caused the pipes
to pull apart. The Superintendent was
in hopes the repairs would not have
to be made until fall but on account
of the traffic it is necessary that the
pipes be repaired at once before a
break comes that would cause con
