Considers Letter Outlining
State Relief in Mine
Regions.

Governor Harry G. Leslie today
has under consideration a letter to
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers, answering q
charge that the state has done
nothing to aid sufferers in the In
diana mining districts.
Lewis made the charge before a
United States senate committee last
week, when urging national relief.
His visit to Washington resulted
in assurance of assistance from the
Red Cross, which previously has re-
fused to aid miners, on grounds that
they are engaged in industrial war
fare.
The Leslie letter, prepared by DR..
John H. Hewitt, state relief di-
rector, sets out what has been done
by the state relief commission, and
urges three-fold program of aid
to be carried on by the miners
union, township trustees and the
state commission.
Hewitt visited Bicknell Wednes-
day, and learned that the miners

BOROUGH EUCHARISTIC DELEGATI0N LEAVESI
FIRE EQUIPMENT
 IN CONNECTICUT
Hydrants With : Good Water Pressure
 in Different Towns
THE SERVICE AMPLE

Connecticut cities and towns are now equipped with close to 10,0O0 fire llydrants supplied with water for ire fighting by the states water supply utilities, according to statlstics on file with the public utilities commission at Hartford. Several hundred new hydrants, the figures show, are being placed, by local governments each year with the aim of increasing the states protection against damage by fire.
 Adequate numbers of hydrants maintained at proper water pres- sure are considered by Ire depart ment officiais and by insurance un- derwriters az most important items in fire protection. Spacing of the fire plugs is of particular import ance, since no amount of water pressure Is sufficient to overcome the loss which occurs when un- usually long lengths of hose must be used. Coming through an ordin- ary fire hose, two and one-half inches in diameter, water loses twenty pounds of pressure every one hundred feet. This makes the
 most effective length of hose be- tween 25O and $50 feet and makes the most efficient spacing of hy- drants at 200 feet.N Hydrants spaced at intervals greater than 500 to 600 feet have been found to be particularly ineffective unless powerful pumping apparatus IS available.
 Maintenance of the proper pres sure at the hydrant rests with the public utilities supplying the wa ter, the pressure being brought to the proper amount for fire fighting by means of gravity of by pumps, depending upon the location of the hydrant with respect to the reser- voir from which 1t Is supplied. Some companies use both means. Inspection of the hydrants is gen. erally left with the local fire de-
 partments. Wherever pressure Is found to be insufficient, the com
 pany is notified by the department and immediate steps are taken to remedy the situation.
 l.. At the present time, improve
 ments in the water supplies to in-
 crease fire protection are being un-
 dertaken in New Haven and have just been completed in Greenwich.
