Safer That Way Firemen Let Gas Blaze Continue
Firemen allowed a natural gas leak from a 25 to 30 foot east of a water main break on Lewis Street to burn from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. yesterday. Crews from CG&E found the break and encased the broken line with a rubber and steel sleeve in frozen ground. Police redirected traffic around Eaton Avenue and Breiel Boulevard while workers fixed the main and extinguished the flames, which reached about three feet high.

Harold J. Carpenter, the former sheriff, was due back at Allenwood federal prison in Pennsylvania after a five day furlough. He had pleaded guilty to two counts of federal income tax evasion and faces a June 25 release, though early return may occur due to good behavior. Officials dispute reports of a halfway house placement and note such options require justification during the last six months of the sentence. Talbert House in Cincinnati is mentioned as a possible option.
