street III the ordinary way. The en-
gi1aeers assure us that the insulation
of the pipes will absolutely prevent
freezing of water in the mains, and it
appears to have been the sense of the
Water and Light Commission that the
laying of the mains on the bridge
would be as satisfactory ald at the
same time, cheaper, than to have
large main laid in the river bed at this
time.
As to the comparative cost, it is
stated that the Construction Company
is to receive twelve thousand dollars
for laying the mains on the bridge &C
cording to the plans, and connecting
them up to the mains at each end.
Their estimate of the cast of laying
a permanent main Under the river was
given at about fourteen thousand dol
lars, besides the cost of the piping.
The advice of Mr.. Martin and others
is that the additional cost of laying
permanent main in the river bed would
be justified, because while the pipes
laid on the bridge according to plans,
there would be inevitable expense for
repair in the course of a short time,
with the consequent interruption of
ser ice and interference with traffic on
the bridge.
1t is also pointed out that as the
sand filling under the rest of the road
way settles, the isluice way will remain
at fixed level, causing an unsightly
and inconvenient ridge along the south
side of the roadway, which will be i'm
possible or, at least exceedingly diff
cult to obviate. The logical way, then,
to secure the most satisfactory re-
suits with both the water supply and
the bridge, is held by many who have
looked into the matter, to be to lay the
more permanent main in a place where
I it will be out of the way and in service
always.

SAY PERMANENT
MAIN SHOl|LDBE
.LAIDUNDERRIYER
Advantage Would Be Gained If Prop
erly Laid Is Claim of Mr.. Martin

During the last few days a proposal
was brought forward to lay a perma-
nent water main across the river in
stead of putting the main IL trench
under the roadway of the new bridge.
Mr.. Martin, State Inspector, when in
terviewed on the matter, declared that
in the light of his varied and extensive
experience in engineering work, he felt
that it would be great advantage to
the city to lay the main in trench in
the rock of the river bed. The main
so laid should be large enough to sup
ply all future possible needs Of the
west side for a long period Of years,
and it should be an iron or steel pipe
ircased in a solid concrete casing, so
that in the event that the steel or iron
pipe should ever become unserviceable,
the concrete casing would still be do
ling service. This concrete casing would
be below the top of the rock bottom
of the river bed. In fact, it would be
ia part of the river bed, and ais perma-
,nent as the rocks themselves, Mr. Mar
tin says.
The plans of the new bridge, how
ever, which have been approved by the
State Highway Commission, and which
have been ordered carried out by the
local authorities, call for the carry
ing of the water supply for the west
side in three six-inch pipes laid in a
concrete sluiceway under the south
side of the roadway, insulated with
magnesium or asbestos pipe insulation
to prevent freezing, and covered with
sectional steel plate en- which the
sand cushion and the brick paving will
rest. The concrete sluice way will
have drains opening on the under side
Of the bridge, so that in case of leaky
/ pipe no injury to the bridge will re-
suit. 1t will in this way be less work
| to repair any trouble in the main than
lit is where the pipes are laid under

THE
bridge AND
ON THIS SIDE

The stormy career of Evelyn Nesblt
Thaw. New York art model and I'M
successful movie actress appears to
have come to close. It is said that
her body was found under eircumstan-
ces that indicate suicide. 1t was not
the personality of Evelyn that made
her career worthy of note in the pub
lie prints. It was the amount OF mon
ey which her whilom husband was able
to spend in his own defense.
In smaller cities and towns such
stories occur and never see line of
publicity This is partly because the
public of the smaller town will not
stand for it. Again, it is partly be-
cause the editors of smaller papers
can see no sense in printing the sor-
did details of lives that have nothing
in them but money and misery. Eve
lyn Thaw is not news to most of US
she's merely an object-lesson.
