FIRE Chief saw
The AUTOMOBILE
Quincy Tested the New Fire Steamer
and Found it to be Good
Thing For That
Place.
IT SAVED MUCH TIME
Makes Great Speed in Getting to
a Fire and Throws Water
Without the Least
Delay.

Fire Chief John Anderson has re-
turned from Quincy where he went
yesterday to witness the test and ex-
hi5ition by the new automobile fire
steamer which that city is going to
purchase at cost of $1,000.
The apparatus is not any larger
than big touring car but can make
great speed either up hill or down and
could easily beat team of horses on
a mile run. Yesterday it was run out
in competition with one of the steam
ers and had water throwing several
minutes before the old engine.
Down at Quincy the water works
system is different from that in Keo-
lluk and there is not enough pressure
from the hydrants, excepting on the
levee, to throw a stream. For this
reason the department has 6 steam
ers which must be used to force the
water. Keokuk only uses steamer
when the water works is out of com
mission and that happens but once in
about every twenty years.
Quincy can therefore use the auto
mobile steamer very nicely for it is
always ready for work and does not
have to be fired up.
