The water department made a test 
of the hydrants at the Farms Wednes- 
day and found three of them had 
been tampered with. Some malicious 
person had driven a wire spike in that 
part operated by a wrench to turn on 
the supply, probably with the view of 
putting them out of commission. 
There was a break in the water 
pipe on Hale street, near Hardy’s 
store, about 4 o'clock Tuesday 
afternoon, and although the water 
was turned off, no effort was made 
upon the part of the Water Board to 
repair the leak until the following 
forenoon and then it was some time 
after noon before the supply was 
turned on again. The residents in 
this section, it would seem, are justi- 
fied in their criticism of the apparent 
slowness in which the repairs were 
made, and say it is not very pleasant to 
be deprived of water for almost 24 
hours. It would also have been a

‘At most seasons of the year the 
seaweed at West Beach is a nuisance 
and whenever gotten rid of, it is with 
considerable expense to the corpora- 
tion. Nevertheless, it is said that 
there is some good in more or less 
evil, and at present this seems true, 
for there has been perhaps more than 
100 loads of seaweed hauled from 
“West Beach within the past two 
weeks, used principally for covering 
purposes against the penetration of 
old winter.
