OUR WATER SUPPLY.-The fire last
week in the third ward, was a most
convincing proof of the utter inadequa-
cy OF the water supply of this city.
Fortunately, in this case, no buildings
stood in close proximity, and the dan
ger of an extensive conhagration was
thus averted. For several years past
the vacant area in this part of the CITY
has been steadily filling up, houses are
being built immediately contiguous to
leach other, lots have been divided and
subdivided, and as the price Of land in
creases, people Of small means are COM
PEELED to build on few feet of ground.
AS this filling up process continues the
danger Of extensive CONGREGATIONS be-
comes more imminent. and steps should
be taken to meet any exigency of this
kind that may arise. The system of
fire cisterns and reservoirs, now in
vogue here and in many towns Of sim
liar size, Is one of doubtful efficacy.
At the fire of last week, the nearest
reservoir was two blocks off, and the
hose failed to reach the fire by $50 feet ):
after the steamer had been set, few
strokes of the piston completely ex-
hausted the water in the reservoir. and
the idea of subduing the fire by that
means, had to be abandoned. Had the
building been row of houses instead
of one house, the result would have
been the same. The question therefore
of better water supply becomes one
of supreme Importance to all who own
property, and should receive careful
and prompt attention. Numerous SAN
itary reasons exist, why we should
have some system of water works,
while public convenience imperatively
demands it. Water works on the Hol-
ly system would practically make ev-
cry householder his own fireman, as al
common garden hose attached to al
kitchen hydrant would furnish water
enough to subdue any ordinary fire in
dwelling house during it's incipien-
cy, and fires of this nature are usually
discovered before much progress has
been made. In the meantime every
person should provide himself with al
chemical extinguisher and not depend
on the fire department or the present
water supply, for if he does, he leans
on a broken reed.
