The new fire hose recently purchased by
the city was tested yesterday afternoon
and the result was embodied in a report
submitted by Chief Mullen to the meeting
of the city council last night
The test was made at the corner of
Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street with
300 pounds pressure and proved entirely
satisfactory with the exception of a few
sections, which were found to contain pin
holes. The chiefs report was as follows:
Alderman J. 7. Lynaugh, Chairman Fire
Committee:
fire hose recently purchased, and report the
following results under three hundred
pounds pressure:
OF the 1900 feet of Paragon hose I find
five sections with pin holes in rubber lining;
of 1000 feet of Dragon hose l find three
the 1000 feet of keystone hose, I find one
section with pin holes in rubber lining.
This does not necessarily weaken the hose
at present, but will, after using some time,
get weak in places where pin holes occur.
With the above exceptions 1 find the hose
ance of same. Respectfully submitted,
]. T. MULLEN,
Chief Fire Department
The report was concurred in and the chief
ordered to send back the defective sections
to be replaced.
