States Corporation is Not Gem
plying With PurpOrt of
Franchise.
INFORMS COMPANY THAT IF
PROPER WATER PRESSURE rs
NOT FURNISHED He WILL IN
SYST THAT FRANCHISE BE
ADVOCATED AND ALL RIGHTS
BE DECLARED FORFEITED.

Mayor Bliss yesterday addressed the
following communication to the Pensa-
cola Water Company, which is self
explanatory:
April 26th, 1905.
Pensacola Water Co., City.
Gentlemen-The many recent and
disastrous fires in Pensacola demon
strate beyond a doubt that the water
pressure is insufficient to give proper
ire protection, and far short of that
which you are required to give to the
city by provisions of your franchise.
Under section 16 of your franchise
tie test for the completion of the
works, and the acceptance of the FIRE
service we're to overflow the stand
pipe, and also to disconnect the stand
pipe and raise the pressure in the
pipes to one hundred and fifty (150)
pounds per square inch, equal to
head elevation of three hundred and
twenty-five (325) feet, and to sustain
the same for two (2) hours, or more,
without causing leakage or breakage
in the pipes or hydrants. This was
the standard of efficiency established
by the franchise.
In section II of your franchise you
are bound to continuously operate
your water works, keeping them in
maximum state of repair and efficien-
Cy. If this means anything at all, it
n cans that you are under obligations
TO be able to deliver to the city
pressure Of one hundred and fifty
1850 pounds to the square inch, when
ever you shall be called upon to do
so.
AT the time the water works were
built, and for some time thereafter,
the outlaying mains did not extend
very far from the large main, and a
good pressure should have been real
lied from the ordinary pressure from
the standpfpe The city has since
grown, and the mains have been ex-
tended until now, from their great
length and impaired condition, it is
impossible to get adequate fire pro-
lection from the standpipe alone.
Therefore / Instruct you, that
whenever you are notified that fire
exists, or, when the same shall be
known to you, to cut the standpiPe of,
as provided for in charter, and to.
raise the water pressure to at least
one hundred (10O pounds to the
square inch, ano, in case the fire be-
comes very serious, and you are called
upon for more pressure, you are in
strueted to raise the pressure to one
hundred and fifty (15O) pounds to the
square inch.
According to the evidence submit
ted at the investigation of the Winter
Rest fire. one would be led to believe
that your plant does not have the
efficiency required by your franchise.
If this be true, command you to at
Cnce put your plant in such state Of
repair and efficiency. In case you do
rot do so, or in case you fail to give
the pressure l have instructed be-
given at fires. / shall, as chief execu-
tive of the city, insist that you have
violated your contract with the city,
and l shall further ask, that the said
contract be formally abrOgated
yours respectfully,
'CFHAS. H. BLISS"
Mayor"

rom other parties and have their brands in
addition to mine. Among these are Q) "SM"
brand, (2) "heart" brand, 60 AZ" brand, (4)
