City water fears spark alarm over pumping station leak
Mayor Willan J. Hosey denounces reports that city water from the basin near No 1 pumping station was being diverted into the mains to secure insurance rates. He says the claim is false and could cause panic during fires while explaining No 1 and No 2 stations faced shutdowns during a storm. Commercial club members defend the emergency basin and its use only for firefighting during conflagrations. Pumps at No 2 and 3 stations were running Thursday after temporary repairs.
