WAS FAULT IN WATERWORKS?
TWO HOMES TOTALLY DESTROYED
BY FIRE.
Stream Lacked Force. and There Has
Been Much Comment. IWO
Sides to 1t, as Usual.

CIuCS W AtS CSudAs
Two residences on Crawford street,
and 1lmost in front of the public
school building, were totally destroyed
by fire Friday morning between IL
and y o'clock. They belonged to
Mrs. L. A. Green and Captain John
WhitChard, and were occupied Mrs.
Green and daughter, Mrs. Morgan, and
Mr.. r. w. Wimbish.
The fire originated from defective
flue in Mrs. Green's stove room, and
the flames spread rapidly and were
soon beyond control, consuming Mrs.
Green's home and the Whitchard
house, while it was with much difficult
ty that the home of Mr.. FL. H. Biz
zard, on the opposite side of the street,
was saved
Mrs. Green had 5000 insurance on
her residence and $400 on her house
hold goods, all of which were los t.
There was 5000 insurance on the
Whltchard house and the loss is little,
If any Mr.. Wimbish, who occupied
this house, had no insurance, but saved
most OF his household effects.
CltlZenS and some members of the
ire company responded promptlyto the
fire alarm, and it is claimed that the
Whitchard house could have been saw
ed had the pressure of the waterwOrks
been greater. 1t is said that the press
ure was not sufficient to force the wa
ter upon the roof of the house, which
was single story building, and that
when the stream was first turned on the
main was chOked with mud and scarce
ly any water could be forced through
it.
On the other hand, superintendent
Hershey Of the WaterwOrks company
claims that the fault was IN the fire
hose and not in the WaterwOrks. He
says the inside lining of the hose was
loose and the pressure of the water
forced the lining to the entrance of
the hose and prevented a full, free
stream through it. The water tank
was full, and there seems to be no
complaint on that score.
The fire promises to play an import
ant part in the litigation that is now
pending between the city and the wa
terWOrks company.

iuster for the companies represented
