where he proposes to install the new
apparatus The high pressure region is
now bounded by Twentythird street and
Cha mbers street. but within the ne Vt
two years it is intended that it will EN-
brace the entire city south of Fifty-nint h

automobile engines and trucks are in
tended and il is on these that the burden
Of the bad streets will fall heaviest. the
Com missioner thinks, because of the
speed that will be maintained and the
heavier weight Of tn. apparatus.
The automobiles int ended for fire
service have TO pass a test of thirty miles
an hour, no matter what their weight is,
