OF 45 feet above normal water level
in the river, there is a lilfoot head
of water in the reservoirs above Main
stree. This is equal to a pressure
OF 81 pounds to the square inch, but
this pressure is not constant due to
the amount of waer the city consumes.
For insance, when the consumption is
500 gallons per minute, the velocity Of
the water flowing through the main
produces friction and friction de-
creases pressure.
In such a case there may be only GO
pounds pressure at Main street and
if Il fire should start at such a time,
it would require from 500 to 1000 gar
Ions per minute. The pressure will
take another drop in proportion to the
amount Of water used, perhaps down
to 40 pounds at Main street, but as
many of our best residences are built
on an elevation of about so feet above
Main street there would practically
be no pressure in those localities
under such conditions, hence it was
a wise move of our city commissioners
to induce the Water Supply company
TO give the city a better fire pr0tec-
ion BY installing booster o. l. ,s
The pump now ready for service has
a capacity of 1900 gallons per min.

or 1000 gallons against a pressure of
