Plan to Utilize Two Relief Fire En-
gines in Pumping Out Cellars Is
Tabooed by Board to Save Cylinders
from Ruin

Neighbors may take hand in
thwarting the request of the Drivers
Independent laundry, 773 Clanton
street. to be permitted to increase it's
steam boiler equipment from 60 to 100
horsepower.
The fire board yesterday was Off
cially asked to grant the permit and
mutterings from that district led to
further inquiries
Chief Lips stated that he had sew
eral times given orders to have the
stacks at the Drivers Laundry estab-
lishment made higher, but that his or
ders were ignored in this and some
other matters.
1t is understood that the neighbors
are getting up petitions to prevent
the installation of additional boilers,
as they say there is much SCOT about
the neighborhood at all hours, damag-
ing their homes.
The fire board referred it to the COM
mittee of the whole and the commits
sionerS will take trip out Clanton
way to investigate the conditions.
Before the board of fire commission
ers yesterday the suggestion was made
that the two relief engines in the fire
department be used in pumping out
cellars in the flooded districts. The
cries for relief because of the heavy
rains are long and loud.
Chief Lips on being asked stated that
he feared their use for this purpose
would ruin the engines. Because of the
sand that would pass through the
cylinders the engines would soon be
out of commission.
1t was suggested that portable
pumps, such as contractors use, would
be preferable and arrangements may
be made through the health depart
ment to put a number of these in COM
mission to relieve the most urgent
complaints of overfilled cellars.
