The following report was made by the
committee on fire department:
10 the Honorable Mayor and Council
Your com mittee en- fire department and
water make following report We have
examined the cisterns and find fair sup
ply of water in each. We have tried quite
number OF hydrants belonging to the
waerworks system and find that they have
sufficient pressure for fire service At Mr..
Clay stream OF water was thrown dis
lance OF ninety feet through fifty feet of
hose with a one inch nozzle. We think
there is some obstruction either in thepi pc
or hydrant. Otter hydrants were tested
with an average distance thrown of one
hundred and twenty five feet, through so
teet hose, throwing two streams. On
the main line OF pipe running from the
stand pipe to the city we found the hy>
drants and pipe greatly INSTRUCTED with
small rocks which would greatly hamper
the lire department in case of fire, and
perhaps cause great loss of property We
therefore recommend the Water Works
Company to have all MIGRANTS opened at
once so as tc allow all stones and gravel
to escape and thus make the system more
ettcleat In case of fire. Respectfully,
GEO. 8. OWEN, Chairman
