WATER PRESSURE FOR FIRES
Question Suggested by Bccont Experience
Dnting Great Conflagrations.
WILL BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED.
City I.'nclnpfr Itmnnstcr Speak * f Some of
thu Fratnroi i > r thf Matter lau ! c
nnil Itrmcillra of Iinuniclciit
Water Supply.
Since the recent destructive fires and the
discovery that the firemen are handicapped
In battling with fires In high buildings owing
to inadequate water pressure , property
owners have been discussing with deep In
terest some method of improvement. So
great Una been the Interest in tlio matter
that the city authorities have begun an In
vestigation , which will doubtless result In
nccdod Improvements being mado.
Yesterday afternoon , when asked to alvo
the cause of the failure of the water pressure
and to outline what improvements are neces
sary , City Engineer Andrew I'osowatersaid :
"I am not prepared to answer either ques
tion. Tlds matter cannot bo treated off-
hand. It will require considerable Investi
gation and study of existing conditions be
fore I can state with nny degree of accuracy
what has reduced the water pressure and
what Is needed to strengthen it. Of course ,
I could explain my Impressions , but that
would bo just to neither the city or the
water company. Plans of the mains , pipes ,
hydrants nnd so forth in the business iwrtlon
of the city are now being pre ) > arcd by the
water company , and when they are pre
sented to mo 1 can then express nn opinion.
Heavy Tnx on the Mains ,
"The pressure for the lire plugs is ob
tained from the upper reservoir , which is ! ! 07
feet above the low water mark of the Mis
souri river. In looking over a map contain
ing the location of the various hydrants ,
prepared while 1 was city engineer in ' 8ti
and Incorporated in my annual report , I nnd
that the pressure at the smelting works and
at the distillery was 123 wounds , which is
very heavy. In the business centers there
was a strong pressing At Sixteenth and
Farnam the pressure was ninoty-ono pounds
and at Ninth and Farnam ninety-eight
pounds.
"However , oven when the source of the
water remains unchanged , the quantity of
water In the reservoir not diminishing at ,
any time , the pwissuro is liable to vary ac
cording to the demand made upon the reser
voir to supjily .ordinary consumers. In the
past ten years , the amount of water used in
the business portions of the city has
been constantly increasing. At all times
of the day and night , the water mains
are heavily taxed to furnish the ordinary
supply needed by business houses and manu
facturers. If the consumption has increased
at such a rate as to make the supply barely
adequate for ordinary uses , then the pres
sure is so reduced that on extraordinary oc
casions it would fail to meet requirements.
' This is the best explanation 1 can make
of the reduced pressure. If the pressure of
1SSO could bo maintained I think it would
answer all needs. When the pressure was
tested in that year a dozen streams were
thrown over the roof of the opera house on
Fifteenth and Farnatn.
"Since then , though the consumption of
water has increased , the pipes have boon en
larged and better facilities adopted for nn
enlarged supply. Just how much the pres
sure is weakened , if nt all , can only bo de
cided when I learn what proportion of the
supply is used in operating elevators , sup
plying boilers , and tilling all the other nu
merous wants of ofllce buildings , stores and
factories. It will take some time for mo to
gain the necessary information.
"One of the possible causes or the insufll-
cient pressure at the recent lires was that
the firemen may have neglected to turn ou
the full force of the hydrant. The , water ,
escaping through a half-obstructed opening
into the hose , would necessarily lose much
of Its force. Then , too many streams may
have been supplied from one hydrant. These
are only surmises that may bo worthy ol
consideration , if the water pressure should
be as great today as in 1830 , after the in
creased supply and increased consumption
are compared.
JMny Kaslly Itu Remedied.
" 1 see no reason why the water company
cannot supply high pressure. There is no
necessity for pumping. If there is anything
faulty with the present system it certainly
can bo changed so that the water pressure
will bo sufficiently high to moot all emergen
cies. When the water capacity and the
draft are estimated there should remain n
good excess for fires. If this excess docs not
exist it can be created , though a too heavy
pressure should bo guarded against , foi
safety's sake , quite as much as a too wcali
pressure.
"It is idle , however , to talk of this mattei
until I am better informed. As yet , I do nol
knoxv what the plans of the water company
will show.
"To give a simple Illustration of the mosl
plausible theory of the cause of the trouble
take a largo house for an example. Then
are water pipes on every floor , bul
if the people on the lower flooi
use all the water that they car
contrive to have How from the various outlets
lots , the pcoplo up above them will have tc
carry water up in buckets. If consumer :
use all the water in the company's pipes
nothing is left to alTord pressure in case o
fires.
"I cannot go into the matter moro fullj
until I have made a thorough investigation. '

1. The fact that the police of Des Moines , la.
parc not wise in their generation Is only beginning
ginning to dawn upon the sleuths of thai
city. With the feeling that they were doinj
the state of Nebraska much good in turniiif
over ' 'Dug" McGuire to the police of thi ;
city , they unwittingly deprived Iowa's pent
tcntiary of holding behind its bars as clove :
a sneak and all round putty thief anil creel
as over climbed a porch or robbed i
"sleeper. "
It will bo remembered that at the time o
the arrest of "Cad" McGuire and the finding
in his homo of a lot of stolen property , quickl :
followed by the confession of McGulro's ac
complice , a young boy , the Omaha police luu
suspicions that Dug McOuIrohad had a ham
In his brother's work. This was coullrmct
when the boy told all ho knew concerning
thu systematic thievery that had been goin ;
on for weeks. Dug nnd Cad had been no
only brothers in relationship , but "brother :
In crime" to the extent that the city's du
tectlvo fort'o had been at its wit's end to dis
cover the perpetrators of the offenceswhlcl
had become ns 1'rcqucnt as exasperating.
Efforts were at oneo made to loeato Dui
McGuire and in answer to the queries sen
out a reply was received from Des Moiue :
that the young man was under nrrrst then
on the general charge of "auspicious churat
tor. " IJut the suspicions were only genet
ous , and on the arrival at Oca Moines of DC
toctlvo Sergeant Haze the prisoner wa
cheerfully turned over to the care of th
Nebraska officer.
Only a few days before this Dotectlv

OVERHEAD LIGHT WIRES.
Some Clmnrn of Tliclr ( lolng t'n.lcr fround !
Till * Year.
Several members of the council entertain
the Impression that Managers. L. Wiley of
the Thomson-Houston Electric Light com
pany intends soon to submit a proposition
by which all the overhead wires of the con
cern will bo placed under ground. This Im
pression , they say. was obtained from con
versations had with Mr. Wiley.
Yesterday afternoon , when seen by a BBB
rcx | > rter , Mr. Wiley said : "Wo have no
Intention of making any request or
submitting any proposition to the
council. Last year wo desired to
place our wires under ground and
sought permission from the council. Our
application was stored away in some com
mittee pigeon hole and Ignored throughout
the session. So far as I know , not the
slightest consideration was given the mat
ter. Wo were not naked to appear before
any committee and the Indications nro that
the council nnd the committee to which our
application was referred deliberately neg-
lecteii to pny It any attention. Why this
was , I cannot say. Other companies were
authorized to lay conduits. Considering our
treatment , wo are not again going to give
the council something to Ignore. Perhaps
wo will call the attention of the councilman
to our treatment during the past session. "
Mr. Wiley admitted to a councilman that
overhead wires nro a nulsanco and that pub-
lie opinion is strongly against them. The
company does very well , ho said , with over
head wires , nnd when it wanted to accede to
the wishes of the people and place the wires
underground , the city authorities disre
garded a matter which the ; ; have boon dis
cussing for a long time , and seemed not only
to favor , but to be on the point of demanding.

none of his old-timo popularity , and hi ;
business this season is so far considerably li
advance of any previous ono. The followini
is from a recent issue of the Toronto News
"It was a return to old times to see tin
Grand Opera house Jam full last night am ]
Joseph Murphy on the stage. The audicnci
was largo and it was enthusiastic , it cami
disposed to bo pleased , It greeted the Irisl
comedian with a ringing cheer , and I
laughed and applauded and enjoyed itself
and it was good to , bo there
"Joseph Murphy has lost none of his old
time vigor and comicality and ability t
please. As Dan O'Hara , last night , he wa
the same simple-minded , witty , big-hcartei
Irishman that ho was on his lirst appoaranc
in Toronto , years and years ago. Ho doe
not become stale. The general run of th
scene is the same , but the witticisms ar
new , the'Songs ' are now , and in every sens
the presentation is delightful. Mr. Murph ;
was called before the curtain at the close o
every act. "

TO PAVE SUBURBAN ROADS
Part of the Funds Voted "Last Ycnr to Bo
Used This Spring.
MATERIAL NOW UNDER DISCUSSION
What Shall the Surface Ito U the Point to
UP Dpclileil Testimony IM to the
Durability of Illllnr-
rnt Articles.
A portion of the $ l.V,000 voted last summer
for paving Improvements will Ixi expended in
putting Into good shape ono or more of the
roads leading from the city to tl.o suburbs.
This was decided upon at a meeting of the
county commissioners held yesterday. The
board will as soon us practicable personally
Inspect a number of roads to determine
where the Improvements shall bo made. As
soon as this is settled upon bids will bo
asked for , and the work started In the
spring.
Just what materials shall bo used Is a
question to bb decided after the various
roads have been Inspected. In thli connec
tion the address of City Engineer Donnelly
of Kansas City before the Engineers club of
tnat city furnishes some food for reflection.
Speaking of paving In general Mr. Donnelly
said :
"Macadam will last as lone as you repair
and talto care of it. Cellar blocks on con
crete will continue in fair condition for 11 vo
years , and with some attention and sprink
ling and repair it may answer for service for
four years longer. Cedar blocks on boards
will last about four to seven years , when It
gets beyond repair and must bo renewed.
Cypress blocks , about thrco years ; the ma
terial appears to rot and becomes very bad a
short tlmu after being laid. Colorado sand
stone , under heavy trafllo , about llvo to ton
years , at which time , if rclaid , using some
new blocks , it will last an equal period.
Granite blocks will ordinarily need relaying
In fifteen years , but It is the only kind tnat
will cnduro heavy city tranle.
"Brick , If of the right kind , will cnduro
under ordinary trafllc , about ten years ; ou
narrow streets , under heavy traflle , it can
hardly last that long. Of the durability of
asphalt 1 am not ns'well prepared to speak.
The city of Washington , among the llrst to
pave with asphalt , is still using streets
paved more than fifteen yc'irs ago ; although
portions of It have been patched and re
paired , no general reconstruction of the
streets has been made. Our neighboring
city of Omaha has pavements in fair condi
tion after ten years of wear , and while
seamed nnd cracked from shrinking of the
wearing surface , are apparently good road
ways , and can yet bo cleaned tairly by a
street sweeper , and are as good for general
travel as when llrst laid down. "
That the question of the pmtcrlnls to bo
used will form a subject of controversy when'
the expenditure of the amount voted last
year is to bo made , is unquestionable , nnd
while It is not expected that the roads to bo
paved early this year are to bear heavy
trafllc , they may , if put in proper shape , become -
come popular pleasure drives.
