domestic users free of charge if the freeze- up is found to be on town proper ty but if the pipes are found to have been frozen under private property then the householder will be expected to settle with the men for thawing the pipes the onus should be on the corporation to prove that the pipes are frozen on private property before asking the householder to pay and that will be some task after all the corporation superintends the laying of water pipes and should see to it that they are put down at a level immune from winter frosts ot course pipes that become frozen inside a house presents a different matter again in such a case the householder would never expect the corporation to thaw them out but when the pipes are frozen outside its some problem to declare at what point they are frozen while it is thought that most pipes frozen this winter connect with the frost right at the founda tion of the house it is strango that all those frozen should be on the north side ot main street and as the difficulty was never encountered be fore the new road was put down it is just possible that the trouble may lie in the fact that when the road was lowered to its present level the
