Leaks in City Water System Cause Local Disruptions
Two leaks in the city water system on West Patrick street and at Church and Wisner streets disrupt nearby properties. West Patrick leak stems from an old service pipe and will take until Saturday night or Sunday to fix. The Church and Wisner leak, due to a leaking fire plug, may be repaired only after water delivery adjustments from nearby facilities. Superintendent George A Burch notes the brush factory gas plant and hosiery operations depend on the main, delaying repairs. Water intrusion concerns residents’ cellars as crews work. In a separate matter, John M. Clary, representing Mrs. Edward D Shriner and Mrs. Nelson Thehl, sold their 219 acre farm south of Dikerson Station, Montgomery counts, to private buyers.
