the good with tin1 bad, and just try '
to keep the public happy."
Ed thinks nothing of the police
knocking at his door at night to
report trouble that has developed i
along some water or sewer line. '
When Ed went to work for the
town 30 years ago the "pick axe
system wax used" and the stock of 1
tools to work with wa^ almost lim< '
ited to a pick, shovel, and three "
wrenches. jl
"Everytime we had to thread a 1
two-inch pipe we tied to go to a '
plumber and borrow a threader
and our stock of w rcnchc- was
three?-10 14 and 24-inch Stilsnns 1
It wa- not until 194(1 11 nit we got a |
36-inch wrench, and we got that ;
after the plumber we had borrowed
from .so long told me to get some ?
tools of my own "
"We did not even have a pl|>e j
vise until 1937. Now it is my job:
to be sure we have enough pipe j
and supplies on hand for all break
downs I make up the list and Mr. j
Ferguson puts in the Orders." Kd j
explained.
Back in the mhl-thtrties. when
the bridge across Depot was being
built. a 6-inch main line was brok
en hv a cave-in The contractor tor
the bridge put in a call to the Tow n
for a crew to come fix it at his
expense. I was the oniv man avail
able so I went down. The man
kept looking at mo. and finally said
'what do you know about fixing
pipes?nobody awav up here in the
hills knows enough about water
lines to fix one like this ' | just
went ahead, and fixed the line by |
Jamming a 4-inch line inslclf? the
i?ix and .stopping up the sides. II
worked until wo could get a 6-ineh
link. The man looked funny when j
the job was- finished I had to do
the best I could, because everyone '
on the other side of the creek were
without water."
Almost every nx-ter in town has
been installed by Ed. because there

It was a red letter day for Ed
vhen the Town bought an air com
?n ->or to be used in breaking
tavement. L'p to that time it was
i matter ot swinging a 16-pound
rammer to gs-t through the pave
nent to repair or install pipes.
Almost all water line ditches
ire now dug with machines, which
>ave time and money.
When we found Ed he wa- work
ng op the East Street - Hospital j
link of a water and sewer line in-1
iLallation. There were eight men
in the job, and Ed pointed out that,
they were putting down about 1.
)irt) feet a day. Hack in the days
before mechanical aids. there'
would have to be about 25 men on
the. job to accomplish as much.

manager When he first went to
work for the Town, the street and
light department had one truck
?a Model T Ford which they shared
Kd helped pul up light poles?by
hand and strung wire. He was
glad when the departments were
separated, and he was assigned to
the water deoartinent.
"When you slip and get wel or
muddy in your work with the water
department you can th an up and
dry off. Sometimes when you slip
in the electrical department, they ;
pick you up. and there ain't no
fixing I like my job best of all
"You have to stay on the ball
and he re.idy to g?" all the lime,
and be careful of your work, he
cause the smallest mistake will |
mean trouble later." Ed continued, j
Ed .saw the men had caught up j
with their assignment, so lie yelled: t
"Let's go?double up here?roll ]
it off easy."
Another 18-foot link of cast iron
pipe went into place in the 3-foot
ditch. - ?
In a wink Ed had his head down
on tine ground checking the joint.
lining it the OK, Ed called for
the second 18-foot pipe. It was
shoved into place, and Ed yelled:
"A bust ".
He Had spotted a small crack
right at the end of the pipe.
Two other men looked. One
couldn't see it, which caused Ed to
remark:
"And they tell me 1 need glasses.
Why 1 can see that crack from
where 1 stand."
A reporter put on his bifocals,
and got down close to the pipe to |
see the broken place.
The reporter squinted and strain-;
ed. hut never found 1 he flaw Ed
laughed?"It's a big 'un-?that's j
the reason you have to be on the
ball in this business."
