WATER MAIN BURSTS
50-Feet Jet in Napier Spouting 50 feet in the air, water from a borough main burst at the Edwardes street corner of the Marine Parade, Napier, at a late hour on Friday provided an unusual display for the few people abroad at the time. Some thousands of gallons of elear water thoroughly washed a large area of the roadway in the hour and a-quarter that the flow remained unehecked. Advice of the breakage, which occurerd in a four-inch main, was given the borough engineer/ Mr W. D. Corbett, by the constable on duty in Hastings street and borough workmen repaired a large hole in the main after the water had been cut off. It is not known what caused the break, but the hole in the main was quite a large one.
