Favora No Fire Engine.

Henry shattuclt, of the Alaska Sup ply company and large property owner is in favor of the salt water system and gives his reasons which follow He said
 "The important matter to consider ss the prevention of a general con aagaratlon. This could only result from fire in what might be designat- ed as the business section of the town. A fro lp the residence district might cause the loss of a few dwellings, but serious connagratIon would hardly result from such fire
 "At the present time t would be impossible, within reasonable cost to furnish the same protection to resi-. dences scattered over 9 wide eerea, that would be necessary in the bus.- ness section. Besides the necessity for such protection does not exist. Theer is no doubt but that the dwell ings are insured In the aggregate to a point much closer to their full val uo than Is possible or profitable with regard to the commercial interests.
 Permanent Improvement.
 'Whateyer is done in the way of fire protection should be of a perma. nsnt nature. The amount of money required to purchase Q modern Ere en. zine would go long way towards in- stalling the salt water main from the AIaslgu Juneau pumping plant, which is now in operation and has been since the first of December. It might loo well to add. also. that this plant operated continuously through the cold weather this winter, without the least trouble. This plant Is equipped with O 100 h. p. moter and is capable of supplying 8 considerable quantity of water and on account Of It's being in Q constant state of preparation, thiH should furnish ideal fire protection.
 Proper sized mains laid on Front Second and Taird Streets, between Franklin and Main. would effectively cover the business section of the town and furnish number of streams of salt water ct points where 1t may be required, and would provide for the supplying of water at number of places at the same time. This might become necessary should fire occur in dry weather.
 cost To Be consIdered.
 "The cost would end with the in stallaHon of such Q system while the cost of maintaining 9 fire engine would amount to considerable sum each year md in my judgment would not be more than a quarter as effective as the salt water system referred to.
 Under the circumstances am op posed at the present time to the pur chase Of a fire engine. notwithstand ing the fact that we would get the full benefit of such protection on account Of practically all the property of tho Alaska Supply Go. being on the water front. and believe that the efforts oi the city council should be diercted to wards installing the salt water sys tenn. Mains of sufficient size could b' used 80 that the plant would be capa ble of further developments as th' town grows. There is no reason whl this system could not effectively b' extended to cover Q very large DOT tlon of tho residence section"

SALT WATER MAINS OR
 FIRE ENGINE--- WHICH /!

There has been considerable dis cuss:on among the business men and property owners of the city during the past two weeks over waier. .faclii. ties for lighting fire. Several plans have been proposed. among them be- ing the installation of the salt water system from the Alaska Juneau pumps at once: another to purchase an au- tomobne fire engine to pump water either from the channel or from the mains of the present water system, and Q third to install storage basin In Ebuer Pond with an electrical driven pump to force the water to the top of the ridge on the north side of town The matter will be presented to the city council tomorrow night. and all three schemes will be discussed.
 cartero Side of Question.
 Charles W. Carter. former mayor and assistant chief of the fire depart ment. said today:
 The recent cold weather which caused such a shortage of water there by laying large portion of our city at the mercy of the flames, has con yinced the property owners of Juneau that better fire fighting equipment is absolutely necessary and immediate relief should be furnished. At no time during the recent cold weather did the fire department have water avail able for more than two streams for one hour in the down town districts and above Fifth street practically no protection whatsoever
 "The fire in the Davis cottage on Seventh street was fair example of what our fire department would have to contend against should Q fire break out In one of the large residences on the hn. Consider for Q moment. what would have been the result had fire gained sufficient headway to be beyond control of our chemical in the resi-. dence of Dr. l.. o. Sloane, B. l.. Thane, F. J. Raymond. J. R. Willis. or any of the other large residences in that vicinity.
 with the present equipment noth- ing could have prevented the fire from spreading and sweeping that entire section.
 What Department Needs.
 Now that the rain is falling in lib- eral quantities. many may look light ly upon the matter. but we must face the matter fairly and admit to our selves that we have no longer @ small village but city of importance to protect.
 "The fire department have proven their ability and 1t would seem to be the duty of the city council to fur nlsh them with such additional equip ment as would seem reasonable for tho protection of the many valuable homes which have been built within the past few years in districts which at the present time have absolutely no fire protection whatsoever
 ''The department at recent meet ing unanimously agreed that the only adequate relief would be an auto fire engine capable Of dei.vesing one to three streams Of water at about 12O pounds pressure. This would solve the situation on Gold hln, Nelson ad-

alton, WilIougaby avenue, Casey-Shat- tuck addition and would be of great value In the business section where salt water uld be used without drawing rom our fresh water re sreve.
 Should the.city decide Co purchase the Ire engine suggested it Is the in. tention of the fro department to add another chemical tube to the truck now :n use and having both machines in commission would give us adequate protection. should two fires break out at one time"
 Raymond's Statement.
 Harry J. Raymond stated today: "I am strongly in favor of fire engine as against the salt water system. for several reasons. For ono thing, the salt water system will cost a great deal more and win only protect the business section of the city while the fire truck win cover all parts from the Casey shattuck addition and Seat CT tracts. along the top Of the hill, all Of the waterfront pfoperty business property and lower Front steet as well as the Wnloughby avenue sec. ton.
 "The best fro engine manufactured will cost about S9OOO, weighs four tons. throws three streams of water with a pressure of l2O pounds at the nozzle. and delivers 300 gallons per minute. and one gallon of salt water is worth three of fresh when fighting fire.
 Salt Water Possibilities.
 "A salt water system would have to be kept drained in cold weather to prevent freezing and with a ten inch main from the Alaska Juneau 1t would take some time for the water to reach fire. even if the pumps were started at once and the fire were in tho down town section. The fire engine could have as much water on the fire in much less time.
 For tho downtown section in case of fire. particularly along the water front, the fresh water system could supply several streams. and the fire engine could be supplying additional streams of salt water from the bay lIf the fire occurred on the hill the engine could hook onto fire hydrant and would supply water under pres sure to the firemen as long as water was in the main.
 One Demonstration.
 DThe last fire on the hin demon strated that with tho tanks full, os they were at that time, not enough pressure was on the water to throw 1t five feet from the nozzle. This would be remedied by the fire engine In the Casey.shattuck addition, small reservoirs could be built in the ground at very small cost which could sup ply water to the engine for fighting fire. or additional water could be drawn from Gold Creek at certain times
 q have studied the question very carefully and from all sides and fol the best interests of everyone, busi ness men. residents, and outlying property owners think the fire en zine is Che best scheme which ha, been advanced. and the one whicl win cost the least with the greates protection for everyone.
