TAXPAYERS SNUBBED.
The Supervisors Ignore the Demands
of Delegates.


At a meeting of the Holly Park and Mis-
sion Street Improvement Club, Saturday
night the Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors was severely censured in
report made by a COMMITTEES which had
visit6o the Street Committee on Thursday
last. The city fathers, it was reported.
hardly noticed the request made for the
construction of bridge across the South
ern Pacific Railroad COmpany's embank-
ment, south of Randall street, to connect
Arlington and French streets. The tax
payers were told that nothing could be
done, and that the Supervisors did not
care 10 hear any more from the committee
appointed.
The club instructed the same committee
to reappear before the Street Committee
on Thursday next and demand proper
treatmen and hearing on the question
Of having bridge bnlt as petitioDed for.
A committee from the FairmOunt district
will also re-enforce them, and see If the

committee will visit Mayor Ellert to-
day in reference to the alleged abuse by
the City Railroad Company of its fran
chise on Mission street, between Cortland
and Silver avenues. The Mayors notice
will be directed TO the breach OF faith, and
a request made that the company be made

with no blade at all. aud the stream kept
solid for about 100 feet. The prism did
much better, the stream being unbroken
for perhaps 40 feet further. This device
was thought to be just the thing until the
split blade was tried. No ono ever saw a.
finer fire stream than was thrown with this
blade. With the nozzle held at an an gle
OF 45 degrees. the water was forced about
325 feet, and for over one-half the distance
the stream seemed solid as cable, and by
the time 1t struck the ground only a small
part Of the force had been scattered.
Equally fine results were shown with the
nozzle held perDendicularly and then hori-
zontally.
The tests finished, an umbrella nozzle
was tried on single line of hose. This
nozzle is designed to protect fremen from
heat by spraying them. A sleeve near the
end of the nozzle is slipped down. exposing
a row OF small perforations. Through
these little holes the water spurts like
suns rays. or the ribs of an umbrella, a
distance of ten feet or more. The water
makes perfect shield, and thus protected

which would ''hold" the stream more
firmly; that is to say, keep it from break
lug for the longest possible distance.
This is accomplished by placing within
the nozzle thin brass cylinders called
"blades." Three separate patterns were
conceived and working models executed.
A practical test was given yesterday
at the corner of Mission and Fremont
streets to the blades. and also to quadru-
pie attachment which was designed by the
men at the Corporation Yard. Four en-
gines were stationed at the corner, one
taking suction at the cistern and three
from hydrants. Short lines of hose were
laid from the steamers to the Quadruplex
and the streams directed northward along
Fremont street
One who has seen the workings of hv-
draulic in mining can form a correct idea
of the force of this single stream, made up
from four ordinary streams, pumped
through regulatioD-size hose into the four
moutbed attachment, thence through q
31h-inch hose and out pinch nozzle.
