Chief Peck Thus Describes the
New Fire Engieus-Tested Yes
terday

Yesterday afternoon, Geo. Clarke, one
of the two new fire engines recently re-
c,ived by the city from the American
Fire Engine company of Seneca Falls,
New York, and Cincinnati, Ohio, was
given splendid test on Military plaza.
1t was stationed on the east side, near the
San Fernando Cathedral and very soon
after being steamed up.threw 2 streams of
water not only over the flag pole of
the city hall, but 40 feet higher
and clear over the plaza on to the roofs of
the buildings on the west side. The test
was witnessed by large crowd OF people,
all of whom were well satisfied. Mr..
Chris Ahrens, the mocha ical engineer
OF the company, who delivered
the machines. was present at the
test and received many congraulati ons
for his perfect engine. The city has now
three Ahrens aud one Silsby engine. The
latter was recently crippled and will be
exchanged, very probably, by Chief Peck
for new Ahrens. This is the James H.
French. The Sam Houston, at company
No.Is house, has given great salts
faction since its purchase six
years ago, and when the exchange
contemplated is made, San Antonio can
proudly boast of having the best fire
equipments in the state. Chief Peck
bought these engines on the recommen-
dalton of st. Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago
and other cities who use none other and
he feels that he had good advice.
