There was some talk of a lack
of water pressure The official gauge
at police headquarters shows a pres.
sure Of IS TO SO pounds all through
the time of the fire. This gauge 1t is
claimed does not record the full pres

connected with a pipe which feeds
several openings in the city hall

ed to have been from 20 to rs pounds
