100000 LOSS SUFFERED
Automobiles and Parts Lost to
Flames at 12-14-16-18 South
Twenty-first Street

Chief Davis. OF the Water Bureau, an
nounced today that a seventy-pound pres
eure water system would soon be added to
the FIRE protection IN the business district
extending west Of the City Hall TO the
schuylltill River, in plan to curtail such
disastrous fires as the one which caused
damage estimated at 100000 last night In
a four-story building at 12-l4-l6-lS South
Twenty-nrst street.
The FIRE last night was only one OF
series In that district. and business men
Of the section today are demanding more
adequate protection.
The building was occupied by several
motor concerns and six alarms were rung.
Dozens Of automobiles, awaiting delivery to
Philadelphians, we're destroyed. Motorcars
valued at $4,000 were damaged by the
water which seeped from the two upper
floors. occupied by the Eastern Top and
Body Company. The police estimated the
value Of the contents OF the building at
S300, 900.
John J. Short, one Of the owners Of the
building, said:
Fourth, fifth and sixth alarms are be-
coming usual in this territory. Less than
two weeks ago the members Of the Market
Street Association protested against the in
adequate FIRE protection and almost every
man in this neighborhood Is afraid his
property will be the next TO go"
Chief Davis now intends 10 supply the
need in the section by installing heavy
pressure system on Market street
II will tap the Georges Hill reservoir IN
West Philadelphia and will be independent
entirely Of the high pressure system that
draws It's supply from the Delaware River
and water plants along that stream. Chief
Davis has completed plans for six-inch
hydrants at every block along Market street
east Of the schuylkll River to the public
buildings. These hydrants will tap a
twelve-inch water main through which
water from the high reservoir west Of the
Schuylkill rushes at such velocity as to
make II serviceable for more than a block
IN either direction. At present the twelve
inch main, through which millions of gal
Ions of water are carried to the center Of
the city is used only to supply the needs OF
City Hall II is expected that the new
system will be in working order before the
close Of the summer.
