Rensselaer “Dry” For a Short Time This Morning.

Rensselaer was literally “day” this Saturday mornig for about two hours. In order to make repairs the city water was shut oil at about 6 o’clock and it was about 8 when it was turned on again. Persons who did not live in neighborhoods where there were pumps were inconvenienced temporarily. It would have been better had a warning been issued through The Evening Republican of Friday. One man remarked that they just had One teacup of water for himself and wife to wash in and to get their breakfast with. Needless to say they went without coffee.
