TEST OF NEW MAINS
High Pressure System Pats Stream
on TeceIue Story Building.

The first test the high pressure street hydrants
made Yesterday in West street, Gansevoort
street. by the Fire Department and the Department
Of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, was COM
plete success. Not only did West street and
eral surrounding streets get thorough and much
needed bath result Of the test. but Fire Chief
Croker and his assistants also thoroughly
drenched. When the test was ended there was
several inches of water in the streets. But Chief
Croker too enthusiastic TO pay any attention
to the drenchng that he received.
TT was bully said the chief. This added
power preCludes the possibility of any large SON
fagration in New York With concentration of
pressure such we had to-day We can control any
blaze in a short time
Another important result Is that the high pressure
hydrant when 1t is in general use will do away
with the fire engine.
The test yesterday left not the slightest doubt
| that the efficiency of the high pressure pumping
stations exceeds that of the steam fire engine The
stream of water was turned on tor twenty minutes
first test and the twenty-four streams filled
the air with a thick mist reached to the ends
OF the police lines, at Jane and Bank streets
The Western Electric Building. at Bethune and
West streets. is twelve stories high, but under the
fullest pressure the streams from several of the
lines reached the roof of the building. Twenty
four streams We're used in the first test and ten
streams in the second test. a tower was
also used. The flow OF water great that it
threatened flood the surrounding steamer docks.
especially that OF the Wilson Line
After the water had reached pressure Of 300
pounds to the square inch Chief Croker, standing
in the middle of the street, signalled with a nag

the test by four iremen and an engineer. These

length of fifteen of these lines $50 feet The

The confined to eight hydIants because
extended would have required longer

the pumping stations allows the fremen TO use the
water they wish.
The section between West l4th street and Cham

pressure hydrants. Deputy Commissioner Lough-

tests: were only working under half capacity.
