HIGH PRESSURE SERVICE.
Gratifying Test Of Gravity System
Under Direction Of Chief Belt.

The most successful demonstration Of the
high pressure gravity fire system ever
given. according to the Commissioners, was
the one given by Chief Belt of the fire de-
partment at 18th and u streets northwest
yesterday afternoon. Five former demon
STATIONS of this system have been given,
but yesterdays results eclipsed all former
ones. as everything claimed by Chief Belt
was justified and all who were present were
highly pleased and commended upon its
merits.
The test was conducted by the members
and the apparatus Of the No. engine COM
pany and the No. truck company, and
were as follows:
First test-Two lines of 2k-inch hose
connected to monitor pipe in hose wagon;
first throw, 1h-inch nozzle, 25e feet; second
throw, 1%-inch nozzle, $40 feet; third throw
Pinch nozzle, 200 feet.
Second test-Two lines of 2h-inch hose,
Siamezed into one section of 2z-inch hose,
leading to water tower pipe, on 75-foot
hook and ladder; 1x-inch nozzle distance
of 1893 feet with elevation of Al feet
Third test-Eight single streams of ~ inch
hose, each with 1-inch nozzle, 1872 feet.
Fourth test-Three lines of 2k-inch hose,
Siamezed into three-way deluge set with Q
inch nozzle, 255 feet.
Fifth test-Three lines of 21s-inch, sia-
| mezed into three-way deluge, set with 2h-
lHCu uoZZlc, 100 1eeC.
Sixth test-65O feet of 21h-inch hose. Sia-
mezed into three-way deluge, set with 2
inch nozzle, 1876 feet.
For five years the Commissioners have
been urging Congress to appropriate $780,
GOO to be spent in bringing the special wa
ter mains from the Fort Reno reservoir,
which is the highest point of the District,
to the heart Of the city, which would af-
ford the latter section better fire protec-
ton. To bring this water to the heart of
the. city, Commissioner mcfarland con-
tends. the water would have pressure suf-
hcient to throw it over the highest build
ings without engines and that this system
would then cover the District from the
Capitol to the State, War and Navy build
Ing and from B to K streets northwest,
which is greatly desired.
Although the Commissioners have met
with no success in this direction, they are
hopeful of success at the coming session of
Congress-. The object Of yesterdays DEM
onstratfon was to show that the high pres
sure gravity system is a feasible one
Meanwhile new hydrants are being con-
stantly put into ordinary operation by the
District water department, to take the
place of the old ones, and, according to
Commissioner Macfarland they are capable
of being used for this new system, Another
point in favor Of the adoption of this sys-
tenn Is that the water from Fort Reno will
not be run through the filtration plant and
will therefore save the waste of the filtered
water which is now being used by the fire
department.
