MAIN BREAK WAS
'HARD TO GET AT
A cracked, water : main last
Week : provided municipal work
men and officials With more than
'one • problem:before the•. damage
*was repaired. The\ break occurred
in a six-inch main, some five feet
underground, in front .of Rae &
Porteous hardware.
Water, 'bubbling to the surface,
drew attention to the break last
Wednesday morning and it was
late Friday night before the
cracked main was repaired. •
The ,bituminous strip between
the: cement' pavement-and,.side

more than• one 'point in an effort
to ; locate . the point :. of damage

and workmen water. . and al-
�
most a .;quicksand' formation to.
contend. with. ,in trying to get
down to the main, •
Water' service was shut.. off on
Thursday'' and Friday.and :for: a-
while on. Saturday morning. , The'.
section affected was • from .San

corner.
There is a valve •on the main

is a section of the , original 'fire.

years old, and the valve' is not.
charted on the map of the " new
section or the system's .inauis. In
' an effort to' eniminize the area,
tobe shut :off, this valve was.
experimented with, , but served no
purpose. ..
Later, '`.:afterthe' damaged.
main had been repaired, the
pressure .on• the;, system was be-
low. normal in some sections ; The
rivet main valve was inspected
close'1y and: it was discovered that
it was a drain -valve for draining
the system, • it ever the ' need
arose: After opening the 63. -year-
old valve,' it had not' been poss-
ible to close it properly, • and this
"leak':' was cutting the, pressure:
"'A temporary plug ;sealed off

manent repairs will have to . be.
;`made at a ' later date, when con-:

TALK HARD TOP ` . -
`FOR ARENA' FLOOR
At ameeting of
• ' _ __. .
the Arena
Committee last •Thursday, Harvey
Treleaven was appointed chair-
man : of• the Board. He succeeds
W. B. Anderson:
' The need of a permanent sur-
face 'floor in the arena' has been
proviouslyvoiced and ' the' mat-
ter was ,"discussed informally at
last week's meetinig.
A floor of the Same type mix
as used by the • County .on Vill-
age roads this year, was suggest:,
ed and if such a ' floor is pract-
ical it is felt by some that the
cost would not be prohibitive.
The matter is to be looked into'
further and if the scheme is feas-
ible, there is the likelihood that
a campaign will be undertaken
to finance 'the ;project and have
a hard top floor applied next
year when County equipment re-
turns to the Village to connalete
s^role work unfinished this Fall,'
