FAIL TO ASK FOR
FIRE PRESSURE
Authorities, Firemen Blamed
by Water Co. in Broad
Ripple's $4,000 Loss.

Failure of the authorities OF Broad
Ripple and Indianapolis firemen 20 notify
the indianapolis Water Company of a
fire which caused $4,000 damage to the
Broad Ripple Lumber Companys yards
at Sixty First street and the Monon rail
road Saturday night is blamed by water
company officials as the primary cause
of the big loss
THE water company was not notified
Of the fire" said c. L. Kirk, vice presi-
dent and manager Of the water company
I'VE had at that time thirty pounds
domestic pressure, and had We been
properly notified we would have built up
fire pressure that would no doubt have
been entirely adequate for the require
ments
The charge that has been made that
the heavy loss was due to lack OF
adequate pressure is unfair. We cannot
furnish fire pressure unless notified that
the fire exists
When the hremen from Broad Ripple
failed to extinguish the blaze at the Ium-
Der company's plant. a call was sent to
the Indianapolis department and fire
appa ratus from this city was sent. These
firemen had trouble in reaching the scene
because OF the condition of the streets.
The crowds returning from Broad Rip
pie Park were delayed on their hOmeward
trip becahse the car tracks were directly
in front Of the lumber company. Some
children discovered the fire and notified
/ A II. Johnson, foreman Of the lumber
company, who lives across the street
Carl Fl Buddenbaum, president Of the
lumber company, placed the blame OF the
heavy loss on poor water pressure. The
company had an unusually large stock
of new lumber, and this was destroyed
by the flames. Mr.. Buddenbaum said
he believed the loss would be covered by
insurance.
fire destroyed a one-story frame
storage house at the Lins Belt Com
pany plant. $50 King avenue, last night,
causing a loss estimated at $1,000. The
flames spread to a barn owned by George
Daupert. $50 King avenue. Dupert's loss
was 81 800. The cause of the fire is I'M
known.

FORD RAILROAD
REDUCES RATES
Request for 20 Per Cent Seized
uIe Reduction Comes After
Wage Raise.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, July 1s-The De-
troit. Toledo & Ironton railroad
owned by Henry Ford today sought
20 per cent reduction in freight rates.
The new whack st high prices was
taken when c. e. uochstedler. Of pear-
born, Mich, general freight agent Of the
D. T. & l. filed a new schedules with
the public utilities commission here.
The new rates are effective Aug. 20,
and affect shipments of every kind over
the 45O miles the railroad operates in
Ohio and Michigan between all points Of
the main line and branches.
'SMr. Ford thought a reduction should
be made was the only comment Hoch-
stedler would make in filing the new
schedules.
Officials here declared the action was
the first taken by a railroad in the
United States for lower rates and pointed
out that the Detroit, Toledo q Tronton
railroad recently announced an increase
in wages for all employees"

al TO threaten complete exhaustion insofar
a the American grades Of oil used In gas
manufacture were concerned. Several Of
the largest oil producing companies no
titled gas companies who had been their
customers for many years. that assur-
ance could not be given Of a continued
supply Of this essential material AMI It
became extremely difficult and 10 some
cases impossible for gas companies to ne

prevailed"
COST OF ASPHALT
WOULD ADVANCE.
Shortage Of homes cannot be over

10 the building Of houses through a tariff
on crude oil. which I'm turn is reflected
in the cost q asphalt, now the most
widely roofing material in America, 80
declared Herbert Abra ham, New York,
chairman Of the technical committee Of
the Prepared Roofing Association. Phila-
delphia. During 1920 the total ship
ments Of asphalt for roofing purposes
were equivalent To 2s37,5O0,0O0 square
feet Of roofing, and with an average Of
900 square feet per dwelling these ship
ments were equivalent to roofing mate
rial for more than two and a half null
lion homes" continued Mr. Abraham.
More than 10 per cent Of the asphalt
used in the roofing industry is derived
from Mexican petroleum, and the result
Of this tariff would be a direct increase
in the cost Of building" said Mr.. Abra-
ham further.
More than 90 per cent Of all high
grade city pavements IN the United States
are Of asphalt" said J e. Pennybacker,
Secretary Of the Asphalt Association,
New York. Practically every type Of
pavement In city and country requires
asphalt in some form and the intensive
use Of the automobile renders dustles5
highways almost a necessity. More than
50 per cent OF the asphalt used east Of
the Rocky Mountain States is derived
from Mexican petroleum" continued Mr.,
Pennybac kcr. and as the mid continent
and gulf oils produce very 4lttle asphalt,
the imposition of this tariff would prac-
tIcally throttle asphalt paving in the
United States OF else impOse~a great cost
burden. The Federal Government has
appropriated S275, 600 20 aid In the
building Of good roads, and has pending
in the Senate a bill which has already
passed the House of Representatives ap-
propfiating hundreds of millions of dol
lars more. It is inconceivable that the
Federal Government should appropriate
these millions for highways and then In
terpose a serious obstacle for the carry
ing out Of the good roads policy"
Intense opposition to the measure was
also Indicated by representatives of the
American Automobile Association, Wash
ington, D. c.; the National Automobile
Dealers Association St. Louis, No; the
National Automobile Chamber OF Com
merce. New York; the Association of Pc
troleum Producers in Mexico. New York ;
the Federal higLITay Council, Washing
ton, .. c., and the coFrer mining indus
try. Representatives of the agricultural
railroad, shipping, p,sblic utility, rub
Der and manufacturing intereN also pro-
tested against the tax.

and Means Committee today.
chairman FOrdney announced he had re
Quested tho Treasury Department to pre-
sent all Information In its files which

Joseph S. McCou, Government actuary
who has a remarkable faculty of est
mating within a few hundred thousand

win yield. is at work guessing" the re-
turn to the Government under the various
tax proposals.
Starting Of the work on revenue re
vision before the tariff bill has been
passed means, Fordney said that the tax
change will be speeded up.
Indications now are that the Senate will
shunt the tariff bill and wait for the reve-
nue. measure with the result that it will
be finally enacted first.
