out yesterday afternoon to witness the
trying out of the new $4,000 LaFTance
fire truck, which arrived in the city
yesterday morning. The first trial was
given when connection was made with
the hydrant at the corner OF West
Main avenue and South York street, in
the business section Of town. A stream
of water, by far the largest and most
powerful ever seen in the city, was
thrown high in the air, reaching a
point about fifty feet above the top or
the Realty building, which is five
stories high. BY means OF the addi-
tional force given the pressure from
the water mains by suction, created
by the horsepower engine, three
powerful streams Of water can be
thrown at the same time. The truck
carries large supply Of hose and sew
eral chemical eXtinguishers for small
fires. With this motor truck in opera
tion the fire-fighting equipment OF the
city is just about quadrupled. "A
