which has regular places along all the
streets at which their fire truck slows
down to allow the firemen to grit on. as
it would take a very fast man to get
aboard one Of these machines while 1T
was in motion, and the risk to life and
limb would be very great.
The truck went to the hose house on
Bridge street, and then proceeded to
the corner of North and Bridge streets.

While it may not be generally known
with the White-Kress auto fire truck
which has Just been purchased by the
city and which arrived in Augusta late
Sunday afternoon, such is really the
case. for on it's trip from Lawrence,
Mass, to this city it brought with it,
snugly ensconsed on the drivers seat.
two souls with but single thought,
two hearts that beat as one" To ex-
plain the quotation. it should be said
that the driver, Earl w. Hadlock of
Portland brought with him on the jour
ney his bride, and the trip to Maine
was feature of their wedding journey.
Mr.. Hadlock and his bride, who was
before marriage Miss May Price of
Buffalo, N. Y, we've united in marriage
in Buffalo. Oct. 81. and enjoyed we'd
ding journey to Montreal and Other
places. but on their return to Boston
he had orders to bring the auto truck
from Lawrence to Augusta. Naturally
he decided to bring his bride with him,
and as the weather was at the time
they left Lawrence the ideal weather of
Indian summer the trip could not he
but a happy one. They came as far
as Portland the first day and on the
following day. which was Sunday. they
made Augusta, getting in just ahead
of the storm.
They have been in Augusta since
their arrival Sunday afternoon and are
much pleased with the city and those
of it's people whom they have met.
They both enjoyed the journey from
Massachusetts into Maine, and have
also won the distinction Of being the
first couple of newlyweds in this part
Of the country to enjoy portion of
their wedding journey on piece of

Rumsey rotary, does all that is claimed
for it, at least so far as a casual OBJ
server can tell. The report of the en-
gineers in charge of the work are to
be submitted to Mayor Viles little
later, and are not yet available. The
first test in pumping was two-hour
continuous test, 100 pounds net pump
pressure, using 200 feet of the stand
ard size fire hose, and in this test the
Rumsey pump, the first one the en-
gineers in charge of the test had ever
seen tried out on a White chassis, de-
livered approximately $40 gallons of
water per minute at a net pump pres
sure of about 1923 pounds, for the pc
Rod of two hours.
| The next test was a half-hour run
at high pressure, during which the
pump delivered 225 gallons per min
ute at a net pump pressure of about
202 pounds, and the third test, which
followed Immediately afterwards. was
also high pressure test, in which the
pump delivered approximately 100 gall
Ions per minute at a pressure of about
252 pounds for a period of half an
hour. At the end of the tests the en-
CINE was not over-heated to any ex-
tent. and the specifications called for
had been more than fulfilled.
One of the most noticeable things
about the White Kress auto fire truck
was the way in which it went into
action, the minute the intake pipe was
inserted in the reservoir the pump
commenced to throb and a powerful
stream of water shot out over the
gully, breaking off limbs with it's i'm
petus. Mr.. Hadlock handles the en-
CINE and pump without assistance af-
| ter 1t has started, and has nothing to

do but feed gasoline and oil to the
chugging machine.
In the afternoon the steam fire en-
CINE was given short tryout, EnGi-
neer Bush and Fireman McCurdy be
ing in charge, with the inspecting en-
| gineers overseeing the test. On &C
count of some difficulty in firing, the
test did not entirely meet the re-
quirements, although the engine de-
| livered sufficient amount of water to
handle any ordinary fire. While the
steamer has done. and is still capabl :
of doing effective work at fires, it is
much slower going into action, and
requires at least two men to handle il
while in action.
In the Wednesday test it required
20 minutes to get up pressure of
! 100 pounds, which was in sharp con-
trast to the instantaneous way in
which the auto tuck got going. 1t is
understood that the new fire truck IS
| to be still further tried out this week
| in Gardiner and it is also expected
that the inspecting engineers from the
New England Fire Insurance Exchange
are to make a number of hydTant
tests in this city during the week.
With the present apparatus, Augusta
is in the best shape to handle fires.
large or small, that the city has ever
been in. The new truck was ordered
through B. E. Bither and John Wad-
leigh some time ago, but as it had to
be assembled. and built especially for
the purpose for which it is to be used,
the delivery was delayed quite con-
siderably, but now that it is here, it is
coming fully up to all expectations on
the part of its purchasers.

Wednesday was a busy day for the
boys at Hose l. They were kept on the
go from $50 A. NJ. until 5 p. NJ. with
the underwriters tests of the fire
fighting apparatus which were being
conducted. The first thing in the morn
ing Earl w. Hadlock, the driver from
Boston, who brought the new White
Kress automobile fire truck to this
city, drove the big machine to Fifield's
garage on Water street and filled the
big tank with gasoline, then went to
the City hall and picked up a load of
men who were to witness the test.
Mayor Blaine S. Viles and the COM
| mittee on fire department composed OF
Frank Z. Southland, Oscar H. Anderson,
Louville w. Written and Albert E.
Folsom represen tng the city coun-
Gil, climbed aboard the truck, as did

party pulled his watch and the big
! truck. loaded with at least a ton and
| half of human freight besides it's reg
ular heavy equipment, made State
street from Water street in slightly
less than a minute, taking the hill on
second speed and without apparent eff
fort.
Some climber" said a city official,
and nobody felt that there was any
cause for argument in his statement,
for it is an assured fact that the truck
will never be called on to carry such a
load to any fire. 1t will be necessary
for Augusta to adopt the method now
