Feeling No Pain

CHICAGO (P).- Edward
Grenda, 20, dashed into new
city police station yesterday
and shouted: I've just shot
my brother-in- law"
Police found Conrad Wisin-
skis, 80, standing dazed outside
Grenda's apartment. I'm
waiting for the pain to start"
he told police.
Both men, police said, we're
mistaken. The .38-caliber
pistol bullet Grenda had fired
through a doorway went over
Wisinski's head and lodged in
the house next door.
Both men were locked up.
Wisinskis' wife charged him
with disorderly conduct.

New Main Water Line
On Macarthur Blvd.
Will Aid Firefighting

The District Government now
has a new trunk water main
under construction along Mac
Arthur boulevard, from the
Dalecarlia filtration plant to
Reservoir road NV. It hopes
to have the $377,512 job COM
pleted by next summer.
When finished, the new water
main will furnish more water
for firefighting and other use
in a wide section of the city.
Roy L. Orndorff, superinten-
dent, Office of planning design
and engineering of the Depart
ment of Sanitary Engineering.
said the area served includes
Georgetown, Kalorama, Column
bia Heights, the Soldiers Home
and Brookland. It is the section
of the city where elevation is
from 40 to 210 feet above sea
level, he said.
The new water main will in
crease water pressure at times
of heavy demand in the second
high service area" But the con-
struction, Mr.. Orndorf pointed
out. is not primarily to increase
pressure.
Traffic Recruiting.
Inasmuch as the main will be
laid in the street, some traffic
will have to be rerouted when
the job gets into full swing. The
main water conduit is laid in
the grassy parking strip that
separates the dual highways
that now form Macarthur bou-
levard.
The program is being carried
forward in two sections. The
first is from the existing main
in the Dalecarlia filtration
plant rounds to Macomb street
and Macarthur boulevard NV.
The contract for this totals
about $4,000.
The second section is from
Macomb street to Reservoir road
NV. This contract is for
$245,512.
The same contractor, Nance
& Vivadelli of 2420 Wilson
boulevard, Arlington, Va, will do
both jobs.
Direct Flow Possible.
For the Reservoir road and
Georgetown Hospital area, Mr..
Orndorff explained, water serv-
ice is fed back now generally
from the Mcmillan reservoir,
First and Douglas streets NV.
1t is pumped through the Bryant
street pumping station. at Sec
ond and Bryant streets NV.
But when the new water main
is completed, he declared, 1--WE
will be able to bring water from
the Dalecarlia plant and feed
it directly into the western end
of the system that is now fed
from the east"
The new main will be of 30
inch steel pipe. Sections of it
are now stacked up along Mac
Arthur boulevard. There was
some delay in obtaining the
necessary main pipe, but now
the dirt is flying.
The contractor already has
work under way near Dalecarlia.
He expects to be out on Mac
Arthur boulevard in a day or
two. Traffic will be shut off on
one lane, in between blocks, as
the work progresses along the
boulevard
