On Tuesday night it was pro-

main in the alley on Seventh street
between State and Main street.
However, when the pipe was barely
sliced water spurted up, showing
that valves were not holding. The

off, but examination showed that
they were so clogged with barnacles
and rust that they failed to hold
back the water.
