Goff street in Auburn is being repaired and in many places entirely rebuilt. To all appearances, this work is being done as it was before and there is a general feeling that the result will be the same. One resident of the street says, “The rebuilding of Goff street seems to be the same plan as at first. I doubt if it lasts through the summer. It ought to be clear to everybody that a street built in that manner will not stand the strain of modern traffic. It was a fake and a fizzle from the start and will continue to be until it is done right. Lewiston has no such trouble.”

The city of Lewiston is not liable for damages several home owners claim were caused by an increase in water pressure, Public Works Director Christopher C. Branch said Tuesday. Branch said he has received complaints of “three or four” incidents involving appliance plumbing that burst when gradual water pressure increases took place between November and January. Though he said the problems are “probably” connected to the increase, a review of the Public Utilities Commission codes reveal the city s not responsible for the damages.
