MAYOR TALKS OF FIRE
Loss WAS NOT DUE TO DEFEc-
TIVE METHODS.


Mayor Thomas H. Carr, who was abb
sent from Montgomery at the time Of
the are which destroyed the Alabama
fsornpress and 1900 bales Of cotton last
sunday morning. has Inspected the
ruins and Investigated the causes Of
the fire and the conduct OF the fire de-
partment. The Mayor in an interview
yesterday declared that the disastrous
result OF the IRE was not due to any
defect on the part OF the city's Are
fighting methods.
SIT has been erroheonBly stated" said
the Mayor, that the great confiagra-
don was due to the low water pres
sure provided by the city. This is alb
soiutely untrue. Such reports do the
city harm at q time when the South
eastern Tariff Association seems ready
20 take advantage of every report to
bolster itself In refusing to give us a
better insurance rate,
.As soon as I returned to Montgom-
cry made personal inspection Of
the burned PROPERTY of the water ia
cilities and OF the pressure recorded at
our pumping station"
Mayor Carr then produced the cyiin-
der record taken from the pumping sta
tion. II showed that between a, m
and 9 a. m. Sunday. during which time
the Are was burning, the water pres
sure recorded was los.
This simply shows" the Mayor con-
tinued, shat the city waterworks EN-
ployes were not guilty of negligence
