WHY FIRES ORIGINATE
IN FLUES EXPLAINED
Water Companies, to Check I'm
usual Consumption, Suggests
Preventive Measures.

Water companies, ever on the alert
to prevent fires and thereby check
unusual consumption of water, are
giving widespread publication to pre-
cautionary measures, says the New
Jersey Public Utility Information
| Committee.
great majority of fires start in
the chimneys and flues. The publica-
lion, Safeguarding America Against
Fire." gives reasons for that, as
follows:
Use of terra Gotta sewer-pipe
or other unprotected tile or hollow
blocks as a chimney.
Reconstruction of chimney with
bricks laid on edge instead of fiat.
3-Chimney walls built only one
brick thick and fiues unlined.
| Supporting chimney on the tim
Der construction of a building or
upon brackets; or insufficient mason
ry foundation, when the chimney rests
on the ground.
5-Two or more connections to the
same fue.
6-Building woodwork into the wall
Of chimney, or placing it in contact
with, or even in close proximity to, its
exterior.
7-Smokepipes arranged to enter
J a chimney in vertical line.
S-Carelessness in sealing the con-
nection between smokeplpe and chin
ney and failure to anchor the pipe to
the chimney.
BY cooperation with many other
agencies, the water companies have
done considerable york to reduce fire
hazards.

by electricity regulai the position
of the boat as the graI oU digs
out the coal. In add ON to the
facilities for handling coal by water,
the plant is fully equipped to re-
ceive coal by rail, the electric de-
partment owning 600 cars which
travel back and forth to the mines.
When the coal comes in by rail the
cars are run over huge pits, which
can accommodate four cars at once.
The coal is dumped into the pits
after which 1t is conveyed to the
bunker house or storage pile as be-
fore on the belts. More than 200
tons of coal an hour can be unload
ed from boat or car.
The first section of Kearny Sta
ton will use about 500 tons of soft
coal day, or nearly 100000 tons a
year. When the second section is
built. 2,50O tons a day will be
burned. More than 100000 tons
a year are used by the fourteen
plants which Public Service oper-
ates in New Jersey to supply power
and light.
