ALL ABOUT A FIRE PIUC.
early Morning Flushing Disturbed a
(itiZcn,s SlunI,ors

The District Commissioners are in recent
of a letter from Thomas w. Gilmer of 545
Florida avenue northwest complaining of
fire plug near his residence. He SAYS:
"a little after daybreak this morning
some misguided person turned on the water
OF the fire plug at 9th street and Florida
avenue northwest, and let the water run
with the noise of a cataract for about fif-
teen minutes. The noise seemed sufficient
to wake everyone in the neighborhood MY
sleep was murdered for three hours. as [
could not get to sleep again. If said act
was authorized and necessary, cannot some
more reasonable hour be selected in the
future?"
The communication was referred by the
Commissioners to Superintendent w. A.
Mcfarland of the water department. who
returned it through the engineer depart
ment with the following report:
THE work of flushing fire hydrants In the
District is now done at night, it having
been found that the flow of water at this
time causes less nuisance than when done
tice should be continued"
Captain Chester Harding, assistant to the
Engineer Commissioner in his Endorsement
of the paper declares that The occasional
flushing of fire hydrants is necessary and,
stated in the preceding Endorsements it
has been the practice to do the work at
night when the traffic on the streets is al a
minimum. The particular hydrant referred
to herein is flushed only once in about three
weeks and 1t is not believed that the dis
turbance caused is of sufficient moment to
Justify the within complaint, or to warrant
any action in the matter"
Captain Beach, the Engineer Commission
er, has approved the Endorsements.
