SAN FRANCISCO, June 49,
More than 100000 gallons Of water
distributed in six mammoth res
ervoirs in the district at the foot
of Telegraph and Russian hills
was overlooked entirely by the fire
department when the great sea Of
flames swept over that district aud
devoured everything before it.
That great portion of the burned
area could have been saved had
the fremen known of the reser-
voirs, is admitted.
The huge underground tanks
were sunk many years ago for just
such an emergency. The water
system of the city at that time was
not as efficient as the one rendered

buildings were Of wood, and it was
theorized that if fire should gel
underway the 100000 gallon capa
city tanks alone would have saved
the district.
The location Of the reservoirs
was marked on charts in the pos
session of the fire department. But
it now appears that the firemen
were not acquainted with the
charts, and in the many years that
passed since the building of the
reservoirs they had become com
pletely forgotten. An investigation
40 days after the fire showed that
the reservoirs were filled.
