Some gaps of considerable size have
been closed by the water department in
its hydrant propaganda within the past
fortnight and other links in the fire pro-
lection system are to be strengthened
as rapidly as circumstances Will permit
In the Batchelder meadow district, where
reversl large stonesheds are located, SIX
hydrants have been connected with the
water system, two with the eight inch
mains and four with the six inch mains
Manufacturers in the south end are
breathing easier in consequence. Granite
manufacturers in the Wiley street
meadow have been treated quite as FAIR
lly and the fire hazard revealed in that
section by tests conducted last April
has been reduced by considerable mar
gin. New hydrants have been installed
also at the corner of Brook and North
Seminary streets, at the corner of Rail
road and Cambria streets and at the cor
ner of Liberty and Hill streets. just
now the department is giving each ny
drant thorough testing.
