Chandler & Co. have completed their
sprinkling system in the south mill and 1t
| opera les successfully. 1t is the best pre-
vention against fire ever invented. There
is system of hotlair pipes passing through
every department of the mill which burst
at the end when a certain pressure OF heat
is reached and the pipes instantly ill with
water and the room in which the fire
occurs is flooded; hence danger of the mill
being destroyed by fire is placed at min
imum.
