TO CHANGE FIRE SYSTEM.
CounclImen to Apply Lesson Learned
From Fires.

Something IL the matter with the
way the city fire system is handled.
Members OF the council are convinced
Of that now, and they admit that the
lesson was pretty expensive one. In
the Prenderast fire, where The loss
was over $4,000 and in the EnEle
fire. with q loss Of over $4,000, the
water pressure was deficient when
| II was most needed.
II was the intention Of the tire,
water and light committee Of the
council. II there had been a meeting
Monday night, to ask the firemen to
come before the council and suggest
any changes which they thought
ought to be made I'm the manage
ment Of the system. One thing the
committee are practically agreed on,
and that Is that the advice given by
H. L. Humphrey the day after the
Prendergast fire, and published In the
Reflector should be followed.
Mr.. Humphrey urged that central
be instructed not to cut off the stand
pipe from the mains, when there was
a fire, until she had received word
back from Sand. Springs that they
had sufficient pressure on 10 enable
the flremen to work. He pointed
out that there is enough water IN
the stand pipe to furnish good pres
sure to the firemen for several min
utes. This view has proved to be
the correct one, and there is little
doubt that the proposed change WI!
be made at an early date.
