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 went right to work again, and are | trying to keep up our spirits We ] worked hard and got the hank teni j porartly In shape Then It was wash ed away in a night. It's like th j old story ot grieving over spilled milk, though.” * Tty Engineer Twiggs Is overseeing I the work of six or eight pick ami *hoiel hands, who were at work dig glng out a ditch about four feet wade j clear across the break, down to hard ! pan Friday afternoon, and his pur | |toee Is to put In another sand bag i core.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD 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.

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. AMUSEMENTS IN 1912.
