CANAL BANK BROKE AGAIN
THROUGH ERROR OF KEEPER
Closed Outlet Gate at
Wrong Hour and Water
Banked up too High Dur
ing the Night Will De
lay Repair Work Some
Day* Official State
ments.
T'ndur too heavy pressure, a tern
j poniry canal bank, built Into the first
j break, about 400 yard* above the
i pumping station, gave way Friday
night, and a gap 40 feet wide, 35
feet deep and 40 feet thick was sliced
out of the bank by a great volume of
penned-up water a* clean a* a knife
cut. That gap will delay the city's
water supply not less than a week,
, cost the city not less than a thoun
and dollar* In mcne.v. and cut down
at least Heveral hundred dollars
profit that W. J. Oliver might have
made on the Job if his gaugs hadn't
thus been *et. hack a week. There is
ro«*<in to believe, from the facta In
the ca*e, that, all this deluy and loss
wan caused by an act of carelessness
or disobedience on th lockts-keeper's
part.
Thursday night both the lower
break*, which are more norloti* than
*ll four upper breaks put together,
were repaired, temporarily. Cores of
sand hag* had been put In, and a thin
; coating ol dirt sprinkled over ’he bags
( 'ommi»*!on*r Wingfield believed both
these lower repair* would stand a
i small ''head" of water.
The lock* gate* have been leak
ing Klnce the Hood. Log* and big
, timbers caught, under them, and they
can’t he closed down tight The water
that 1* thu* allowed to run Into the
1 canal has, ever since the flood, been
diverted to the river channel again
through th<‘ Ra -'* creek waste gati ,
i one mile below Ilia lock*.
WANTED SMALL
HEAD OF WATER.
Thursday afternoon Commissioner
Wingfield Instructed the locks-keoper
to close down this waste gate on thu
hour of 4 o’clock a. m. Friday. He
figured that by (lie time he arrived
at the "outfit” with u gang of work
men Friday morning a small "head"
of water would have gradually ac
cumulated Ir the canal, enough to
propel the machine* at tile pumping
station in low pressure, and that he
would he able lo continue with the
work
When the vanguard of Supt. W. G.
Payne'* Idg force reached the acetic
at 6 o'clock Friday morning the tem
porary bank wa* gone, literally un
dermined and swept away during the
night by a volume of water that, In
i Mr. Payne's opinion, was accumulat-
Ing for many more hmira than the
time allowed by Commissioner Wing
field.
City, Engineer Twiggs wa* notified
of the new break by telephone at
6:25 o'oloek Friday morning. He at
< nee made effort to communicate with
the lock*, but a tree had been cut
down acroS* the telephone line, dis
covered subsequently, and It was ne
cessary to send a messenger all the
! way to the locks before the en
gineer* orders could bo comrnunlcat
j ed to the lockh keeper.
DOESN’T KNOW
HOW IT HAPPENED.
A Herald reporter went to the
break Friday afternoon. Comnii*
►doner Wingfield »ald. "We don't
know how it happened. I ordered the
lock* keeper to turn the water on at
4 o'clock till* morning, and when we
got here the temporary bank was gone
I have no Idea how long the water
>vaa on I haven’t been able to com
municate at great length with the
I locks keeper yet. The only way we
! can find ’out Just how long he did
; let the water on Is to turn It ‘in again
after the banks are finished and j
figure it out by comparison. Wu

of carelessness, but the implication
wa* that the locks-keeper failed to
shut the gate* at 4 o’clock In the
morning, but set the bearing about
bedtime, and retired for the night.
W. G. PAYNE SAYS
IT’S CARELESSNESS.
Mr. W. G. Pa, ne was very plain
spoken tv telling his mind about the.
new break. He Is emphatically of the
opinion that the new break Is the
direct result of somebody's "rotten
carelessness.” He said: “Why ti
lhat locks-ke.eper had turned every
drop ot water through his gate* that
they’ll carry, and done it at the time
he had orders to get to work, the
water couldn't ever have got down
to the lower outfit by 5 o'clock. But
hi* order* were to close the waste
gate at 4 o'alock Friday morning, and
let the locks gates leak without ra!s
.ng them. Now there Is water enough
leaking through those gates to get
down here In an hour, much less back
up and break through the temporary
bank.” And again Mr. Payne said he
thought there was "something dead
up the creek,” and wisely wagged his
head. He's exasperated because the
work of days wa:. swept away in a
night. "We’ll get payed for putting
that, dirt baek You bet your life, for
Wingfield’s going to measure the size
of the burrow pit and pay according
to that, and not according to the size
of the bank we put in. Yes; we'll
get pay for putting in that dirt that
washed away. But well lose because
it's a loss of time that counts. All
that * got to b ■ done over again.’
A big force will be at work on the
break* Sunday. A miniature lighting
plant, was Install'd Friday afternoon
and Tvvlgg's hands worked during the
night.
When asked Friday n'sht how long
lie thought It would be before thu
break Is filled again. Commissioner
Wingfield said: "I don’t know.” But
he's smiling, and hopeful, and work
ing like a Trojan.

School Opening Deferred
Until September 28th
on Account of Canal Break
Water Had Been Promised
for Next Week But New
Break Causes Delay
Some Private Schools al
so Postpone Opening.
After conferring with Dr. Eugene
Murphey and several members of the
Board of Education, Superintendent
Lawton B. Evans has decided to post
pone the opening of the schools until
the 28th.
This was caused by the temporary
dam breaking, and therefore the wa
ter cannot be gotten to the schools
in sufficient quantity to make the con
ditions sanitary.
When interviewed Saturday morn
ing by a Herald representative, Super
intendent Evans said: “About the sug
gestion in the editorial of the Au
gusta Chronicle this morning, I wish
to say that I have been keeping in
touch with the water situation all
along and water had been promised
to me either Monday or Tuesday. At
least, that I would have enough wa
ter to flush the closets. Under that
impression I ordered the schools to
open -Monday, the 14th, as everything
was in readiness except the water
supply.
“As soon as I was notified that the
dam had broken, which was last
night, I immediately changed my
plans, as I realized that an unexpect
ed delay had occurred.
"The Chronicle was correct In their
view and it was anticipating what
the authorities would do under the
circumstances, in fact nothing else
would have been safe and reasonable.
"The children will report at the
schools Monday morning at 9 o’clock,
when they will be graded and given
the list of books for the coming year,
and they will be dismissed as soon
as possible.”
The lady superior of St. Mary's con
vent had a conference with Superin
tendent Evans Saturday morning, and
it was decided that the convent would
postpone their opening for two weeks
and open with the public schools.
Mr. Victor Dorr, chairman of the
finance committee of the St. Patrick's
Commercial Institute, said Saturday
morning that the opening would be
postponed indefinitely.
Superintendent Evans has issued
the following order:
Augusta, Ga., Sept. 12th, 1908.
General Order.
Change of Opening Date.
Owing to the disappointment in the
expected water supply, in conse
quence of the breaking of the tem
porary dam, the public schools cannot
now be supplied with water. There
fore it is ordered:
1. That children be enrolled on
Monday morning and given their
grade list of books.
2. That they be dismissed as soon
as practicable on the opening day.
3. That all pupils be notified that
the school session will be postponed
two weeks on account of the lack of
water. Pupils will report again on
Sept 28th, so further instructions.
LAWTON B. EVANS,
Superintendent.
This order does not affect the
Monte Sano public school as they use
the Summerville water. This school
will open Monday morning at 9
o’clock.
