Four lines of two and a half inch hose, through which were driven under fullest pressure streams of water rising to 100 and 150 feet high, showed yes- terday afternoon that the new fire protection system established by the Morse Creek pumping sta- tion is fully capable of protecting the whole business section. The test was made by Fire Chief Mac- }donald and the Gity Engineer. Not la drop of the city’s supply of ldrinking water was used, the lwhole fire protection supply be- ling drawn from Morse Creek, rhe pressure al the pumping sta- tion never fell a pound all the time the test was in progress, and City Engineer Davis is confident that not only four but six strong streams of water can be main- tained from Morse Creek plant } unaugmented by the mountain }pressure. There are ten million gallons of water in reserve he- hind Morse Creek dam now, and it is intended to use Morse Creek water only in time of fire or urgent need otherwise. “New L ot of Ladies’ " neckwear.
