In the context of Murphy Memorial Drinking Fountain, explain the 1960s restoration of the Historical information.
In 1963 the sculpture suffered damage and was no longer dispensing water.  The left arm of the sculpture was damaged when the plumbing became clogged, however it was not the clog that broke the arm. Repairmen accidentally broke the arm while investigating the leak.  With support from the city council and a community fundraising effort, the fountain was repaired.
