Investigation Of Lack
of Pressure at Fire.

Wednesday afternoon a com
mittee of fremen made a test OF
the Waterworks in order to deter.
thine the cause of the lack of pres
sire during the big fire Saturday
night. With 12o feet OF water in
the stand pipe the pressure from it
alone was Sc IL pounds to the
square inch. After using two
feet. pressure fell to 81 II. With
the main closed and pressure given
direct from the pump, only IS
lbs pressure could be given. With
all the mains closed, the pump gave
pressure Of o5 pounds.
1t is evident from the examina-
ton that the employees at the
wafer works were not in fault, out
that the difficulty lies somewhere in the
plant JUS: what the difficulty is, has
not been positively determined A num-
Der Of calses have herring, but without
doubt one of the chief causes is that the
pump is too small for the wo.k REQUIRED
on it. When fret put in. it Wa s,lft1cient
but since the great extention of the
mains and heavy demands on the water
supply 3 in ptimp is inadequate. what
ever other causes may be certainly the
town will have to purchase much larger
pump aud the sooner it is done the better
The condition OF the hose is v'ry bad. an
entirely new supply being lieeded.

In the Stations OF these lines and

will be posted the following no
tice, showing that there is dis
position upon the part OF the com
pany to enforce the rules and in
viting the public to assist them to
such determination:
To the Public:
Although employees are in
structed as to their relations with
the public. and civility and cour-
tesy are enjoined, it may 6sca-
sionally happen that these instruc-
tons are forgotten or ignored.
The management will be glad to
have attention called to uncivil or

pattUns in transacting their busi.
hess with the company, the infor-
nation will be of material assis-
tance in placing responsibility and

In connection with the issuance
of these circulars Mr. Markham
states that heads of departments
have been requested to take ad-
vantage OF every favorable oppor-
tunity to invite criticism from pa
irons Of matters pertaining to rela-
ton Of company's employees to its
patrons. to the end that civility
and manifestation of a disposition
on the part Of each employeesto go
out Of his way to inipart informa-
tionto inquiring patrons shall be
the rule and not the exception.
1.-THE attention Of our en-
ployees, said Mr.. Markham. has
been called to the fact that passen-
ger conductors, ticket agents and
bagga:emen present more points
Of contact with the public than all
the other employees combined;
that the general condition OF the
public mind toward railroads is
largely detefffiifed by result OF
contact with the employees named,
and that the company will expect
that its employees shall sustain the
same relation to the conipdny s
patrons as the salesman in stofe
is expected to sustain toward his
employers customers, af'd that a
pleasant manner in deallhg with
the public will be regarded as one
OF the most vaIded assets. :
