Act" was approved on February 90, 1898.
No work has yet been done in this city

people owning property to join in i'm

AN ENGINE TEST.
Good Work of the New
Purchase.
The One Which Took First Prize at
Chicago Proves Satisfactory to
the Department.

The Fire Department tested its prize
engine at First and Folsom streets yester-
day morning. This is the identical engine
built by Clapp & Jones of the American
Fire-engine Company, Seneca Fails, n.
Y, which took the first prize at the Chi
cago Worlds Fair.
1t is three-hitch engine. weighing 1850
pounds. and was sold to the city for S43S0.
It's number is 2211.
One Of the features is the patent pump,
which Chief Sullivan Yesterday declared
was the finest he had ever seen.
There were present at the test yester-
day: Fire Commissioner Bohn, Supervisor
DunGOn, Chief Sullivan of the Fire De-
partment, Fire Marshal Towe and A. S.
Fish. the Pacific Coast agent of the build
ers of the engine.
This is one of several of the three-horss
engines In the city. In the East the cities
are generally using three horses, as the
tall buildings which have been erected
necessitate the use of large engines in ex-
tinguishing fires, the aim now being to get
capacity with as little weight as possible.
At the first test yesterday with 3-lnch
hose and 1%-inch nozzle a continuous
stream of water was thrown 135 feet. AT
second test the stream was thrown 20
feet farther, but fell in spray.
Then a2h-inch hose with 1k-inch
nozzle was substituted and the stream was
thrown few feet beyond the record of the
previous test. Those present declared
that the test was perfectly satisfactory.
Chief Sullivan declared that it was the
best work which he had ever seen an en-
CINE of the second class perform.
The engine was not working from a hy-
irant, but picked up the water from els
tern through an IS-inch suction hose. The
test was made under lis pounds steam
pressure.
called was the arrangement of the copper
tubes in the boiler. The circulation is
automatic as each tube has its individual
conn ection with the leg of the boiler and
