W AFTER TOWER To FIGHT
FIRES IN HIGH BUILDINGS

Norfolk. Va. Feb. 2f.--Chief r. r.
Mclaughlin, Of the Norfolk fire de-
partment, said yesterday that the wa
ter tower, for which an appropriation
OF $4,000 was recently made by the
city council, was a very necessary
piece or equipment for efficient fire
fighting. The water tower is designed
to fight fires occurring in high build =
lngs.
A stream OF water shot from
ground hose loses it's efficiency above
The third floor for two reasons: First.
It strikes at such an extreme angle
that the water rarely ever goes far
enough back into the building to do
any good: second. the stream OF water
when it goes that far from the noz-
zle begins to break" that is, turn
into spray. The water tower over
comes these objections.
