UNIFORM CITY
FIRE HYDRANT
is TALKED OF

George X. Gorby, representing the r.
ID. Wood and Company, and tne Flor
ence Iron Works, Philadelphia, appear
ed before the Board of Water Com
mission today in reference 10 fire plugs.
City Council recently took measures q
protect the city in case OF fire. Whining
ton has 900 fire plugs and is in as good
a position in case of big fire as any
other nearby city. The trouble with the
fire plugs in every city is that the coup
ling threads and sizes are different. In
Philadelphia the Jones Coupling is spc-
cial make and would not suit the Ches-
ter or Wilmington. The same condition
exists regarding Baltimore and Wash
ington. Captain Horace Wilson said the
matter should be discussed by the may
ors cabinet He suggested to President
Poole the idea of taking up this ques-
ton at the next cabinet meeting and
that the chief of the Fire Department
4 be present. although the FIRE chief is
not member OF the cabinet. Captain
Wilson said he ought to he, considering
the Importance Of his position.
Chief Engineer Hopes reported
the the examination of the tre
plugs has been finished. Some time
recently a plug was inspected ind
representatives Of two fire companies
were nresent -Four days later the
plug was broken and the Water De-
lpartment was obliged to pay $40 Tor
repairs.
At the Miller Bros. and Co., fire, on
last Friday, fireman was found turn
ing the valve of plug the wrong
way. A foreman of the Water De
partment opened the plug for the
fireman.
\ AS the drivers of the sprinklers for
the Street and Sewer Department are
, very hard on the fireplugs Mr.
, Hopes suggested that in order &c
escape the constant repair work, thai
separate plugs be provided toi
/ sprinkling purposes.
! Mr.. Gorby said that to change tht
Z lconnections on the fire plugs would
} cost Sc q plug, and then the fr'
house would have TO be equipped ac
. lcordingly.
) Captain Wilson felt that the Fire
r Department should consider the mat
] ter. Captain Wilson thought the eX
= pense Of any change should be pai'
: by the department. Under all condi
tions the Water Department shoul'
remedy all weak places. but the Fir
Department should lend assistance
( Before discussion Of the subject wa
[ ended, Chief Engineer Hopes said h
! knew of plug being damaged by tn
= use of an axe. The fire plugs nee

( that they be painted bright red $
that the plugs can be seen day o
