MODERN FIRE TRUCK
DEMONSTRATED HERE

Increasing the water pressure from
80 pounds TO 200. and increasing the
distance of the flow from 33 feet to
100 feet, a White combination fire
truck, whose cost is $500, was DEM
onstrated yesterday at p. m. at
Grant and Wilson streets for the
benefit of the members of the city
council. The demonstration was
made by Demonstration Downs and
Joe Snyder. state agent, with A. l..
Frentzei, local automobile man, as
sisting. Mr. Frentzel has the agency
for the truck in this city.
The increase in the pressure and
the flow was obtained by the. engine
which is a part of the truck. A sec
ond demonstration was given at the
mill race, near Franklin street where
the pressure of water from the race
was increased to 200 and the flow or
water reached zoo feet.
Members of the council expressed
themselves well pleased with the
truck and it is probable that the con-
sideration of the purchase of such
q machine will be brought up at coun-
ell meeting. Nine tenths of the cities
in the United States, say the agents.
are equipped with such trucks, and
IL. 900 are in use in France.
