The city's new big iron gray team
was hitched to the new chemical engine
last Friday for trial at pulling the big
machine. This team is considered the
finest in or about the city, and it was
thought that if it could not pull the ma
chine no team could. The result of the
trial demonstrated that the engine is too
heavy for common fire team, though
the grays walked along with it. With
six men on the engine the estimated
weight is 1900 pounds, which is too
much for the average team to pull while
travelling at gallop, especially when
rough roads are among the conditions to
contend with.
