HYpRANTs, SHOW PRESSURE
 IA POUNDS BELOW EATING.
Tests Made on Broadway at Scene of
 Hubbard Fire.

Fire Chief Howard L. Stanton made a further test on Monday of the two hydrants which gave such an insufa- etent water pressure at the time of the fire at the Hubbard barn on Sunday evening. These tests were made with employees of the water department and the gauges used both by the chief and by the water department showed the same result, viz, that the hydrants were fl pounds under the pressure for which they are rated according to the water department schedule.
 4. S. Hubbard, who is acting head of the water board, witnessed the tests also, as he happened to be at MT. Hub bard's home on other business at the time.
 The hydrant at Broad and Cedar streets, which is scheduled to have a water pressure of 54 pounds. showed 40 pounds. The other hydrant, which is at the corner of Broad street and Broadway, which is where the steamer was working Sunday night. showed 50 pounds pressure. It is Scheduled for 64 pounds.
 With a short line of hose, say 100 feet, this pressure would have provided a working line of hose, but when about 500 feet Of hose was ot, as at the Hub bard fire, the resulting friction cut the nozzle pressure down to a great ex- tent.
 If the same fl pounds below normal pressure is experienced all over the city, it reveals a serious situation for the hill locations, the chief said, and 1t seems likely that such Is the case, as he took a test at the central sta- ton and found there was the same fl pounds loss of pressure there.
 As hydrants in some of the hill loca- tions are only rated to have a pressure of 20 to p pounds. a loss of fl pounds in this would give a stream that would hardly run out of the nozzle.
