MAINS fRCE!
Cold Winter )oe$ Not Dis
turb Wj ter System
With the thaw ae out of the main of
the Skagway w? er system which ex- I
tend the (court iiouse) there is not a
hydrant in the ;ntire plant which is
uot supplied with water. Oce hydrant,
that at the con aer of Tenth avenuej
land Main stree . is leaking and has I
! been shut off, bu: otherwise the whole
| water system is in working order.
This is in spit' of the fact that the
winter juss comic; to a close has bean
one of the longest in the history of the
city.
The cost of keeping the water mains
open has been very slight. The most!
expensive obstruction caused by the i
cold weather w: s the freezing of the
main between Broadway and the court
house which shut off the hydrant on I
Spring street, ft required several days;
to clear that out, but the work has been ]
accomplished without great cost.
It has been conceded that the test
this winter on the water systsm has I
been ample to prove its efficiency.
The co'd has been of long duration {and
the ground bar ? of snow. The con
ditions have beeii such as to cause the ,
frost to penetrate .deep into the earth, J
yet it has come off second best in its J
battle with Skag way's water plant.
