Inspection By COunCiImen Of
East Side Fire Companies
Productive Of Much Good
MAY RESULT IN
ANOTHER FIRE TEST

The semi-annual inspection Of the
fire companies on the east side Of the
city last night by city Council was
productive OF considerable good. Be
cause Of the recent insurance under
writer's report. the firemen. particular
ly the members Of those companies
whose engines did not show up good
an the test. anxiously awaited the ar
rival Of the councilmen and the ex-
PLANTATION offered I'm each case was con-
vincing. and the impression was left
that the experts employed by the in
eurance companies did not give the
engines that failed to come up to the
standard a fair test The firemen also
insist on the city employing engineers
10 make a similar test as the under
writers did. and feel confident that far
different results win be attained than
those recently accorded.
Liberty First Visited.
The first company visited last night
was the Liberty. which has a third
size engine. but one which has always
given excellent service, yet it came un~
der the ban Of the underwriters ex-
perts as one Of the engines that did
not make good.
James B. Stevenson, engineer OF the
Liberty Company. Informed the visit
ors that the experts allowed the
steamer to run with water pres ssure
of only las pounds. just one hundred
pounds above the plug pressure, in
stead of allowing the engine to run
with a capacity Of 24O pounds pressure,
its normal standard. He graphically
explained the methods adopted by ex-
perts, and concluded by saying that
the test. TO his mind, was a big bluff,
and was gotten up for the sole purpose
OF forming an excuse to increase the
fire insurance rates in this city. ITO
say anything more on the subject" said
Engineer Stevenson. would be mo-
notonous."
