Meeting of the Committee on Fire and
Water

|
Meeting of the Committee on Fire and
Water.
The committee on fire and water
met in special session Saturday even
ing. Messrs.Simpson, ,Rigdon, Lamport
J. M. Wallace, president, Chas. A.
Park, attorney, A. L. Brown, superin-
tendent of the Salem Water Co., Mr..
Long, of Portland, chemical engine
man, and Fire Chief Hutton were
present.
The whole question of improved fire
fitting facilities was gone over. The
records OF the Water company were
shown for several years. 1t was shown
that prior to Mr.. Wallace's manage
ment the pressure averaged about 40
pounds, aud was so irregular that you
could not tell much about 1t. The
records show that the pressure the
past two years has been steadily from
IS to 80 pounds to the square inch.
The committee took the matter under
advisement and will probably report
to the council. The worthless char
acter of the old Perkins hydrants was
disclosed in the discussion. Every
effort TO blow out the Perkins
hydrants was shown to have proven
more or less disastrous. They will, If
used, all have to be supplied with
gates between che hydrants and the
mains

1t was shown that Astoria with
about half the population Of Salem
have 95 hydrants to Salem's &C
hydrants. 1t was disclosed by the
committee that the city paid so much
a month ($1.S3) for hydrants, but used
no water, r,when Mr.. Wallace suggested
that the expense of water company
was in keeping up constant and re-
liable pressure ready for service at
any moment. AT Astoria they pay
about S. month for q hydrant and
most cities on the coast pay from SO to
SO a month
A HOSE STATION.
The property owners of East Salem,
the portion known as Piety Hill, are
circulating a petition, which will be
presented TO the council at the next
session, asking to have hose station
established in that part of the city.
The city has the necessary hose and
cart, and the only expense it would be
to would be n small house necessary to
protect the apparatus from the
weather. This would not cost over
$25,or possibly place could be secured
for very small rental.
If the prayer Of these petitioners is
granted, local volunteer company
will be organized, and excellent SER
vice can be relied upon. T.. c.. Cross,
II. POhle, the Gray brothers and other
experienced firemen in that neighbor-
hood volunteer their services, and if
the opportunity is given them they
propose to hold regular fire drills and
care for the apparatus IN such man
ner as to give efficient service in case
OF fire. With the present good water
pressure and hydrant service this
would certainly be a valuable acquisl-
tion to the Salem fire department, and
would afford a protection deserved by
a section of the city containing many
valuable residences. 1t is suggested
TO contine the boundaries of such fire
district to the city limits on the
north and east, the mill race on the
south and Summer street on the west. |
This is good move in the right di.
rection, and the city council would do
well to consider the matter from a
liberal point Of view.
