The Water Work Company Claims
That 1t Had Pressure on at
Once During Wednesday
Noon Fire.
DIAL IS NOT PRODUCED
Firemen Tell Of Turning the Hy-
drants on But the Much Want
ed Water Was Slow
in Coming.

The water works company still in
sists that there was ample fire pres
sure turned on Immediately Wednes-
day noon when fire damaged the Ma
thias residence and at the meeting of
the water works committee of the city
council Saturday evening, presented
witnesses to so testify.
The engineer at the pumping plant
told of turning on the pressure and 2
railroad man who was near the plant
when the whistle blew, told of going
over to the engine house at once and
seeing the pressure on, not over two
minutes after the whistle blew.
The company's main defense seems
to be charging that the firemen did
not have the hydrants turned on full
force
This defense has been. knocked in
the head several times by the fire de-
partment which had three lines of
hose laid, none of which would throw
a stream fifteen feet high until nearly
a quarter of an hour after the alarm
had been turned in. After that there
was good pressure.
About the Hydrants.
The fireman who turned on the wa
ter at the hydrant at Fifth and Or
leans street, gave the wrench from
10 to IL turns, which was plenty fol
good flow of water. This hydran1
was not touched afterwards until the
fire was out and the man who turned
the water off, says that he had to turn
the wrench at least fifteen times tt
shut off the water.
The dial in the city Office shows
lapse of about fifteen minutes from the
| time the alarm was turned in unit
there was sufficient pressure and the
record is the only one like it since the
guage was placed in position. There
! is a guage of the same kind at th'
water works Office and if pressure wa
on as claimed by the company, TIL
guage should so show, but 1t has neve
been exhibited before the water work
committee.
There is no question but what tn
| firemen were unable to get enough
pressure at the fire. There were hun
dreds of people at the fire who witness
ed this fact. The city guage als'
| shows it and the water company doe
not produce its guage to show that tn
pressure was on.
The franchise and water ordinance
do not contain any penalty to cove
a case of this kind, excepting that tn
franchise granted the company coul
be revoked.
The insurance companies who carr
the risk on the Matthias property, ma
be heard from later in this matter.

Mr Pepper says that for the fiscal year which
ended March 81 1909. the revenue from the in

tax in COS was the greatest single OF
nue., exceeding the excise imposts by sL50ooo0 and
the customs receipts by s23 600 600.
Incomes under $500 exempt from the tax,
and graduated attachments are allowed on incomes
between $500 and s25OO In determining the yield

nomina!ly per cent attention must be paid TO the
rate of charge. The lowest rate in the last half
century has been a fraction cent on the
dollar Since ss6 the highest rate has been about
80 cents &5
Mr. Pepper analyses the various sources from
which the tax is drawn and shows that the prin-
cipaI source comes under the group of businesses
and professions and particular properties, such as
railways canals and mines and foreign and colonial
securities TIE next leading OF revenue is
from profits from the ownership OF houses and
lands.
A very interesting feature OF the British income
tax is the amount received from investments
