PAVEMENT WILL HAVE TO BE TORN UP

[Welland Tribune, 10 September 1914]

A break in the water main under the pavement at the intersection of Muir and Division sts. has been discovered. The pavement will have to be torn up at this point to make repairs. This is the first serious break that has occurred underneath the pavement.

It is likely the pavement will also have to be torn up on East Main St., in front of the Welland Electrical Co’s office, where an auto owned by Dr. S. E. Boulter of Niagara Falls South struck a hydrant and bent it over to an angle of 45 degrees. The hydrant will have to be taken out and to do this, it is thought a break will have to be made in the pavement. The auto was not put out of business by the encounter and proceeded to the Falls. It was driven by a young man.
