HIGH PRESSURE FAILS
Temporary Lack Of Water Loses
800, 900 at EarIg Fire.

A temporary failure OF the high pressure
service installed IN the downtown district by the
Fire Department responsible for the 500, 900
damage done early yesterday morning at Nos 9, II
and 13 Walker street.
The fire was discovered soon after 1t started by
Patrolman Welton OF the Leonard street station.
He sent IN an immediate alarm. When the fremen
arrived they called for the high pressure service but
unable TO get any water Consequently fire
that should not have caused over a few hundred
dollars damage swept through the entire building
from the third floor up
Repeated calls sent to the high pressure sta
ton in Oliver Street but It reported there that
the pressure was on. Then the engines were called
in and had been working for half hour when the
pressure shot on, pouring tremendous streams into
the building, and soon controlling the fire
Just what responsible for the failure OF the
service to he a mystery to every one. At
the high pressure station it said that they could
not explain the failure. but that inquirers would
have to go to Commissioner O'Brien, of the Water
Department
When Chief Engineer De Varona of that depart
ment, in charge of the high pressure system.
seen, he denied that any in his department was
responsible. He said that everything in the Oliver
station in first class order. but intmated
that something must have been the matte with the
water tower at the FIRE In making his report 70
Commissioner O'Brien, Mr.. De Varona said that
he had made examination of all the apparatus
after the fire, and that finding everything all right
he could not understand wnere the fault lay.
1t was generally reported, however. that the fire
the hydrant had yet become thoroughly
familiar with the working of the hose In connection
with the system. Two hose lines 'siamesed"
the hydrant. which supposedly did not work
There valves used the hose lines for regu-
ating the pressure and size of the stream and some
of the fremen who got to work quickest on this
hydrant it is believed misadjusted the valves.
