THE WATER WITcH's HOSE CARRIAaE.-The
Water Witch Fire Co. received their new carri-
age on Saturday afternoon, and at once gave 1t
a trial oil some OF the toughest streets of the ci-
ty, without any evidences OF the least weakness
in any OF it's parts. 1t is the largest hose car
800 feet Of gum or, 1000 feet OF leather, hose
The carriage was built by Chaa. Fletcher and
John Seelman, workmen at NcLear Il Kendalls,
who worked upon it at odd times the proprie-
tors kindly consenting to the use OF their shops.
The work is principally iron, The color has not
yet been determined upon, and for the present
it ls simply primed
With it's new steamer and new hose carriage
the Water Witch is one Of the most efficient
companies in the city, Its great trouble in
equipment is its lack Of good hose but it is nc
worse off than the others. They all need now
hose badly, and we hope Council will at itf
next meeting provide each company with new
supply.
