WATER PRiISSUR RE.
Reasons Given for the Failure OF the Fire
Plugs sunday-An Electric
Alarm Wanted.

The failure of the fire plugs to fur

was first given Sunday afternoon for
the big fire, caused much comment on
the streets and some severe criticism.
Those who were present Will remem-
Der that when the hose was first at

but soon began to run with considera.
bic force which continued about thirty
minutes 1t then ceased to
flow again with sufficient
force and only poured out
the end of the noza a few feet from
it. In short while the force of the
water returned and the water was
thrown sufficient distance to do all
that was promised for the Holly sys-
tenn of water works and continued
until the fire died out.
A GAZETTE reporter applied at the
Office OF the water company yesterdaf
afternoon for an explanation of the
failure of the water. Mr. Monday,
who was in charge OF the Office, said
the engineer at the pumps had not
been notified of the fire in time TO put
on extra pressure. "The ordinary pres
