Connections ON Is New Fire
Engines Don't Fit Hydrants;
Chief Wants 293 Changed

The unpleasant news that the hydrant
connections on the twenty new and
expensive, motor bumpers of the fire de-
partment will not fit the engine outlets
On 29S hydrants in the city was broken
to the board Of public works today in
q communication from John {. LOucks,
fire chief. The board took the matter
under advisement and will act upon it
later. The latter also contained the
recommendation that the Indianapolis
Water Company be directed to change
the 293 hydrants to fit the connections
used by the engines.
Chief Loucks said he had taken the
matter up with the water company and
officials had stated that in view of the
fact there were 203 fire plugs affected
and only twenty five connections on the
motor bumpers, the latter be adapted to
fit the fire plugs. The chief says he
then took the matter up with the Stutz
Fire Engine Company, who manufactured
the bumpers and its officials did not
feel ''it was up to them" es they had
obtained a nipple from the water com
pany before manufacturing the connec-
tions and had made them accordingly.
The nipple given them will fit the type
VI ny ant CONSUL utlus vast iudJOI4ty
OF those in use in the city. Chief Loucks
believes the 203 hydrants, which are only
a small percentage OF the total number
in the city should be changed so there
will be one uniform standard for the
entire city.
That the Jewett administration IS clos
ing up its affairs and getting ready to go
out Of business was indicated by a state
ment by Mark II. Miller, president OF
the board of public works, that with the
exception Of street improvements al
ready planned and in litigation, no more
