Chief Of Fire Department and City
Commissioner Witness Test
Of Truck at Fort
Madison.
MACHINE WORKS WELL
Fl. Madison Officials Are lmmEnse:,.
Pleased With Result of Test
Say keokuk Needs SINH
lar Machine.

John Anderson, chief OF the keokuk
fire department and T. P. Gray, city
commissioner, were in Fort Madison
yesterday where they Witnessed a.
trial of the new automobile fire truck
recently purchased by that city. The
machine was put to every kind of a
test 1t could be expected to eEsSunter
in actual service and the city officials
OF Fort Madison announced themselves
as immensely pleased with the results
of the test Mr.. ANDERSON and Mr..
Gray witnessed the test at the invita-
ton of TT. Madison officials, and the
details of the operation of the machine
were carefully explained to them.
The machine is made by the Sea-
grave Company and cost $4,000. It
carries about 1900 feet of hose, a
chemical fire extinguishing apparatus
which throws a sixty foot stream, and
ladders, A force pump is placed on
the machine for an additional 5000
which makes it possible for the ma
chine to throw water taken from els
tern or a creek. In the test the ma
chine was run through mud and sand
deep enough to stall the ordinary
horse-drawn truck and negotiated
steep hills without any difficulty.
1t is the plan of the FIT. Madison ofn-
Gals that whe ma fire alarm is sent IN,
the motor truck carrying practically
all the firemen be dispatched to the
1,l,,o ~ orco whj1a horse-drawn hose
carts follow as quickly as possible
| With this method practically com
plete fire department is on the scene
| fighting the fire before the horse
| drawn trucks arrive. This is consider
| ed very great advantage as the most
| important thing in fighting fires is gen
orally conceded to be speed in getting
/ to the fire.
Both Mr.. Anderson. and MIR. GRAY
were enthusiastic over the perform
ance of the truck, on their return. |
As considered that this city is badly i
need of such Are fighting apparatu
4 on account of it's hilly condition wh1cl
4 often makes it impossible for horse
I drawn trucks to arrive at flre Il
time to save anything. In view OF tn
{! fact that an efficient fire department
& is a great aid in securing factories 10
town many men who are workin
{, toward this end are also anxious t
see the Keokuk fire department equll
!, ned with an apparatus similar to tina
just purchased by Ft. Madison.

Why Bills Are High.

The rates charged by the water
company are specified by ordinance,
both meter and flat, but the fact that
bills for the last quarter have heen
larger have caused some to believe
that they havt been raised. Superin-
tendent Hodges when asked by a
Gate City reporter gave as reason for
the fact that the bills for the quarter
including July, August and September
are hightr than formerly. The fact Is
that the consumers have used more
water and this only. He points to the
fact that the company pumped about
/, 100000 gallons Of water per day
during these months and now are
pumping only half that amount. More
water was used this summer than any
previous year.
For flat rate consumers there have
been additional charges made as a re
suit of the inspectors visit 1t was
| found that people were using watel
for purposes that they had not con
tracted for and the extremely dry
| weather brought out every one o
these ways.
Mr.. Hodges believes that at the enc
of the next quarter the bills will drof
as much as they were increased dur
| ing the extremely dry weather.
