ROAD TORN UP
Water Main Bursts
LOOKED LIKE EARTHQUAKE
..-..'? , SYDNEY, Thursday.
Extraordinary damage was caused
when a 36-inch water main burst in
Parramatta-road. Camperdown, early
this morning.
The thoroughfare for the distance of
a mile looked as if it had been dis-'
located by earthquake.- Wood blocks and
concrete were torn, raised and &unk into
all sorts of queer shapes. Tram lines
w*re bulged and beni, and water flowed
inco several business places.
For about three hours the water was
bursting through the earth like a gey
ser. It was ultimately turned off, but
the interference with tram traffic caused
thousands of late, arrivals at work.
