new YORK IS facing
GREAT FIRE DISASTER

New York, Dec. 2O.-That New York
City is in danger of fire disaster great.
er than that which destroyed San
Francisco following the earthquake, is
the assertion of NJ S. Tannenbaum,
one of the insurance experts called
upon for testimony before the state
legislative committee which is inves-
tigating fire insurance rates and con-
ditions here.
"The danger of disaster to New
York is not only a possibility. but a
very threatening probability" Mr..
Tanenbaum told the committee. "The
extent of the San Francisco disaster
was due to the breaking of the water
mains and that is the danger we face.
Right now we are digging tunnels
through the heart of the city, using
large quantities of dynamite.
ANY day terrific explosion, as
sudden and unexpected as the disas-
ter in the New York Centrals termi-
nal yards, might break two or three
of our principal water mains. If this
should happen and then two fires
should beak out at the same time.
where would New York be?
New York's water pressure is alse
too low. 1t would be absolutely in
sufficient to control fire with good
headway in certain districts of the
city. If two or three fires should
break out on the night of a big wind,
like. for instance. the blizzard of 1888,
nothing could save the city"
Mr.. Tannenbaum brought up these
points in connection with an argu-

the tunnel stream to the lower line
of the American falls and is quite
firmly wedged between the rocky
shores. It is improbable that it will
last, it being likely that it will be
swept down stream, within a few
days. Still an ice bridge that formed
on Dec 16, 1903 fingered until March
%, 1904. Nobody has crossed the
present bridge as yet. Its life will
depend on weather conditions.

"The work of the army at present
is to do the best it can in developing
the country's military resources and
to be of assistance in organizing the

that work that we have asked for 900
to 700 additional officers.
when the officers who will have
been with the militia four years come

benefit of the civilians viewpoint,
