the round about way before reaching it's objective.
 The department and the PIainvillc Water company came in for criticism for the low water pressure. TOwns- people standing by watching the fire rage did not hesitate to eNpress their opinions of the pIainville Water com panN which they termed failing in pinch." The entire fault, however, would seem 10 rest with the town rather than with either the Water company or the fire department. The real reason for the small stream of water was not low pressure but was due to the distance which the stream was forced 10 travel before being elected from the hose. There is not a fire hNdrant near the Calor factory The one west of it is at q greater dis tanCc. There was between % and 97 pounds pressure in each of tho two hNdrants. If a hydrant was located directly in front of the factory there would nave been tho same 95 pound pressure for use by the 1ircmcn. As it happened they were forced to use 1 ,000 feet of hose from the east hy- drant. They used a SiamcSe coupling and divided the stream they expected into two nozzlcS. As a result there was but a small stream which was inadequate. The water pressure was uSurpcd by the distance which it was forced to travel. Pressure is always reduced according to the distance which it travels and that proved true this morning. The 95 pound pressure at the hNdrant was so reduced after travelling the 1 ,0O0 feet that it would not prove effective for fighting the fire.
