Yesterday afteniQOn at 4 o'clock
.William Behfiett, tho' diver for the
Salem water .company, discoveed n
split in the pipe lino running to tho
crib in the gravel island in tho river
and through which passes the water
consumed by the city, about two
inches in length and three-eights of
an inch in width.
The split was discovered in the
section of uncovered pipe lying on
tho mud banks a few yards south
west of the Oregon City Transporta
tion company's dock, and it was loca
ted within a few feet of the place
where the line began to go under the
ground and on over to the crib. Tho
hole is on the top of the pipe and
the flow of water through it is not
impeded by either brush or mud.
Mr. Bennett made an examination
of the pipe lin'e in August but found
no openings in it, and is of the opin-
ion that the hole was made, in the
pipe by the high water prevallng
about Thanksgiving, although it is
possible that contraction may have
. "been, the cause of the pipe splitting
so peculiarly. In any event, there
is signs of a severe strain on the
pipe as though some great pressure
liad been brought to bear by float
ing water logs or swift running
water, and the split was made be
tween the rivets and near the joints
of the line.
Owing to the extreme cold water
Mr. Bennett was unable to work con
tinually, but he located the leak be
fore evening'. Tho water Is very
, -cloudy at present and it was impos
sible for the- diver to see, but by
.feeling carefully over the pipe any
trace of leaks could be discovered
A temporary repair will be made
Ao the pipe today some time. An iron
Jacket will be bolted about the leak
'and the jacket or sleeve will be
will serve as an ausolutely water
proof protection to the spilt until
such time as the water becomes
warmer and clearer when a cement
jacket will be placed about the pipe
at the leak. - Tho material will prob
ably arrive In this city from Port
land today and work will be com
menced at once repairing the leak.
