Waterloo.
It was necessary Sunday morning to
start the wheels of the big electric
power plant of the Waterloo. Cedar
Falls and Northern railway in order TO
lend assistance to the fire department
in putting out a fire. At $3.50 o'clock
the department was called to the vicin-
lty Of the Rapid Transit shops north Of
the city to put out a blazing car Of Gin
t]ers. The hose wagon with the chemi-
cal was sent out but the chemical sup
ply was not sufficiently large to put
out the fire. The car was also out Of
the water district, so the firemen be-
gan to shovel off the cinders while
others carried water in pals from a
pump. The hand brigade was not
large enough to have any effect on the
blazing cinders so the power plant was
asked to switch on the current so that
an electric car could be run to the
other, coupled and carried to the water
tank where the flames were extin-
guished. The men worked for three
hours.
