HIGHER WATER
PRESSURE To Be
ASKED IN BILL
Chief Watson, of Fire Bureau,
Says Present Force Is
inadequate.

Higher water pressure in down
town Washington will be asked OF
Congress next year by the District
Commissioners.
George 8. Watson, chief Of the
fire department, is said to have
made this recommendation to the
District Commissioners in his an
nual estimates.
While the Commissioners hold
little hope that Congress will grant
the funds necessary to get high
pressure, they intend to seek $780,
900 or 100000 in submitting their
estimates to Congress. This money
Is needed to accomplish an in
creased water pressure system.
The increase in building activity
in Washington is making higher
water pressure a necessity. Local
fire officials have visited Baltimore
to investigate the water system used
by that fire department and have
reported that the District should at
least have the same high pressure
as in the Monumental City.
Complete motorization Of the fire
department will be sought by CHIEF
Watson. This is not expected to he
accomplished this year, however.
Chief Watson will also urge the
purchase of additional motor equip
ment which can be held in readiness
for use when other motor apparatus
becomes temporarily disabled.

In a scene with beauty spun.

Flash along the winding road
And orchards brown, with fruit
