The water department is having its troubles these days. For the last six weeks it has been trouble, trouble and more trouble, and there is no letup in sight as vet. Frozen service pipes are reported -from all sections of the city and the department’s men have had to take out a number of meters. Ser- vice pipes are frozen in'Targe numbers and the force of men employed: by the water department has been working day‘and night, and Sundays, too. The freszeups still contince to increase and the frost is going down deeper every day. Supt. Edwin:L. Burnap reports that quite a number of mains are frozen. Some of these mains are from three and one-half togfour feet down in the earth but the frost gets them Just the samie. . Thursday--morning. with’ the assist- ance of Stephen J. Kehoe of the cas land electric department an electric thawing apparetus and are success- fuily thawinz out service pipes. The new method takes about ten minutes after the wires are attached and when the proper connections are made. The old method, with the tha wpipe takes from. two te three days to a service pipe. 5 Supt. Kehoe sdvs that this method of thawing™out frozen pipes is used extemsively in all the far northern states. The methoa is as follows: A barrel of water ang a ten k. w. transformer are used. Current from | primary wires is passed throush ths transformer reducing the voltage to 110. The reduced current Is then pass- ed through the barrel of water which acts as resistance. The current is thién conriected with the service and nerforates the ice. inside. There is no danger to efther the pipes or the oc- cupants of the house. The barrel and transformér have been set up in the water department’s team. By three g'clock Thursday af- ternoon five service pipes had been thawed out. Tt is expected that ten a day will be thawed out with the new anparatus. Practically all of the ser- vice pipes on Newton street are frozen up. The reservoirs, both Fairview and Stony Brook, have a large suoply on hang for the present with 20-inch. fce on Fairview and 20 to 22-inch on Ktony Brool TWO NORWICH BOYS ADVANCED IN SERVICE.

Whenever a driver of a truck operating for a Hartford concern, New. Haven, New London, ot any, other city in the state, has deliv- ered his load in Norwich and- has called_“Return, Load” on the 'phone the chamber of commerce will refer him to some_local factory. for a Hart- ford, New Haven, New Londonm, or way-town shipment.
