BOARD Of SAFETY
MAY HAVE To BUY
PRESSURE PUMPS

Following the theory Of Aaron
Burr. that anything is truth that is
"stoutly asserted and plausihly main
tained". South Bends water depart
ment may never be able to furnish the
pressure necessary for effectually
fighting big fires in the far outlying
districts Of the city, without resort TO
direct pressure that might otherwise
be dangerous. or the addition OF pumps
or boosters 70 the fire apparatus, ac-
cording 10 information placed before
the board OF safety by Pres. Morris OF
the board of works. and Supt. TOyne
of the water department. at the meet
ing Friday morning. The TWO visit
ing officials were Called in for light
on the subject preliminary TO the
making uD of the annual fire depart
ment budget.
test. however. was made during
the afternoon by the fire department
and water board cooperating. the re-
suit Of which has not as yet been
given out ON account of distances,
elevation of the land, friction, and the
size Of mains. Supt. Toyne explained
to the board that with the standpipe
filled about the best they could eX-
pect would he 80 pounds pressure,
while Chief Sibrel of the fire depart
ment insists that il should not be less
than 60 or 30 pounds.
With the standpipe 225 feet hight,
with present diameter said Supt.
Toyne. lit supplies a pressure Of 81
pounds at the base. Between that
point and the south city limits there
is 100 foot elevation, which re-
duces the pressure 43 pounds. leaving
"a if nothing were lost by friction and
size of mains. That might be in
creased by direct pressure from the
city pImps but Il would add such
heavy pressure in the down town and
lower districts that it might prove dis
astrOus to a lot OF plumbing in busi-
ness blocks and homes"
Can Pump 1000. 900 Gallons.
Pres Morris explained that the city
nov has 100000 and 5000. 900
pump in operation at north sta
ton, and two . 100000 pumps at the
old station. giving a total capacity of
IA, 000 000. and that there is no queS-
ton about the water supply. even
thought the two latter pumps may
have to he put out Of commission for
time undergoing overhauling which
they are said to need.
1T isn't the water that worries us
so much as the pressure" Pres Aug
ustine. of the safety board explained.
IF the city plant cannot furnish the
latter we must buy boosters or pumps
which will mean an expenditure OF
some $4,000 that we must ask for in
our annual budget"
what we want is facts to go be-
fore the council with" said Commis-
siOner Hibberd.
The agitation appears to have been
the growth of a recent fire at the res
idence of Jerry Donovan, out Michi
gan st, south. when it was necessary
to lay 1000 feet of hose to reach il
from the nearest hydrant. and then
there was insufficient pressure TO give
it any force Chief Sibrel referred to
the Winkler factory, the Studebaker,
Lincoln and Oliver schools. aside from
scores of residences, in danger from
such conditions.
Other matters coming before the
board Friday were largely Of a rou-
tine nature.
