iret PAGE SIX Frost Plays Havoc With Water Supply and Concrete Highways Sub-zero temperatures kept main- tenance men of Dallas-Shavertown Water Company on the jump over the Glenview Terrace section of Fern- brook and weekend especially in in Shavertown where mains as well as service lines froze in exposed areas. Dozens of householders were without water for varying periods while crews worked extra shifts to remedy the difficulties. In some areas the crews found that frost has penetrated the ground to a depth of forty-four inches. Gus Walters, of Dallas Portable Welding Company, was employed to thaw many-of the pipes electric- ally. Using this process, mains 200 to 400 feet in length are thawed in about twenty-four hours while service lines connecting -mains to homes were thawed in from one to two hours. Remarking on the depth to which the frost has penetrated, Zel Garinger sexton at Wardan Cemetery where a heavy blanket of snow covers the ground, said this week that he found frost to a depth of only two inches while digging a grave. Tt is in the uncovered areas that it has done the most damage and especially along State Highways that have been well cleared. Sev- eral bad heaves have appeared in the Tunkhannock - Dallas Highway and on many other main routes in this area.
