Omaha A2ipm DAY, FORBETTER FIRE PROTECTION Some Difference of Opinion as to Where Im- provement Can: Be Made, CITY OFFICIALS DISCUSS THE SITUATION Question of Fire Pressure is Considered— Opinions of Fire Fighters and Water Works Officials on What Should and Can Be Done. The question of better fire protection fs engrossing the attention of many property owners of this city at the present time. Fol- lowing are suggestions and opinions of city offiglals whose duty it is to make a special study of the subject: Chlef Galligan of the fire department said that the water system of Om; of the best in the country. “I have been around a good deal,” he said, “and T have seen them all. There Isn't one of them where they don’t have to add engines to supplement their gravity pressure in order to protect the high buildings, The gravity pressure I8 all right as long as the city don’t get too big and they don't run their Dbusiness blocks up too high, but when they do they have to throw steamers into service. It had a pres- sure on our mains high enough to reach the tops of these high buildings with any force, it would smash the domestic plumbing service all over the city. If the pressure that we get from the engines was exerted on the mains there would be a nice little bill for somebody to pay for the smashing of plumbing connected with the water service. The water Company is re- quired to maintain a service that shall equal a certain test, and whenever we have had those tests they have equaled those require- ments. Some people advocate an independ- ent fire main, claiming that the present ones are not large enough, but that would mean an independent pumping plant, for it couldn’t run in connection with this one, Another plan is to have a standpipe located on Capitol hill, but I don't know whether that would do any good or not. I do know that in all the other cities, where the in- creasing height of buildings due to growth of the place has brought about a situation like this, the use of fire engines has been resorted to as the best and surest way out of the dificulty.” MR. HARTMAN'S OPINION. Fire and Police Commissioner Hartman sald that the water pressure had always seemed satisfactory on dress parade and when tests were made, but when it came to fires it was wofully lacking. He was not prepared to say what the trouble was, but he knew that it existed. He was satisfled that the only help for it was fire engines, as that was what other cities had come to when confronted with this trouble. He did not know of an exception, and had personally seen engines furnishing pressure at fires in Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and had seen them workitig at tests in a number of other cities. ! He could not scy what was the matter with the water pressure here, but he had seen it as it was, and was satisfied that it was not what it ought to 'bé to furnish pro- tection. He had looked'up the matter of the size of the mains, and way of the opinion that all were large enoughwith the excep- tion of the ome on Douglis street from Eighteenth street east. ' Fie' did not want to do the waterworks company any injustice, but he could not understand’ why it was that a stream could be lln‘uwn the required height at a test and dould not come any- where near equaling it at'a fire, as he was informed that in the heart of the city the pressure was all gravity and could not be in- creased by direct engine pressure. There was something wrong somewhere, and he was not able to tell what If' was. Inasmuch as all other citles had adopted engine pres- sure, and it had been found to be the only thing that would do the work here, he was satisfied that the perfect fire protection of Omaha was simply a question of more en- gines. Councilman Specht of the council commit- tee on fire and water sald that the water company had always complied with the re- quirements of its charter whenever tests had been made, still it was apparent that the water pressure was not sufficient for fire protection in the heart of the city. He at- tributed the trouble to the fact that the mains were too small, and said that when they were laid it was when the city was much smaller than it is now, and when it was not even expected that it would ever reach its present size. ‘“There are so many places where the mains are being constantly tapped and water being taken away that they can't keep up the pressure when the hydrants are opened up to supply fifteen or twenty lines of hose in a certain locality, for the main is too small to supply it. It seems to me that if a larger main was laid on Douglas street, and wherever else the main is too small, and used only for fire service, it would give a better pressure. WATER WORKS COMPANY TALKS. Recelvers Hunt and Blerhower of the water works company were asked to express them. selves on the pressure question, and both maintained that it was ample and sufficient. Mr. Bierbower said that it was so strong that he had been compelled to place a cons trolling device in his house to prevent the smashing of the plumbing, and he knew that the pressure was always what the char. ter called for whenever a test was made to see whether or not the company was living up to the requirements. Mr. Hunt said that the pressure was no stronger at one time than at another, as it was impossible for it to vary more than two or three pounds, When asked about the failure of the fire de. partment to get streams capablo of doing any execution he sald that one reason was that it often happened that the hydrants were not completely opened in turning on the water, -and cited the instances of the Farnam street theater and Boston store fires, when two such cases had been observed. Another reason was that two long lines ot hose were laid, and that as friction in the hose lessened the pressure, a vast deal ot it was unnecessarily used up in this way. Still another waste of pressure was in the tortuous winding of the hose, as every curve and kink meant the loss of that much power, vet he had frequently seen hose at a fira plled in a seemingly interminable jumble and tangle, that could not but mean the loss of a great deal of pressure at the nozzle, He said that in thelr haste to get water the ha was one we [ firemen frequently laid in from a hydrant a block or two farther away.from the fire than was necessary, not realiing that they wero losing a great deal iny wgter pressure by reason of the friction in the hose. This, he sald was the case at the Farnam street theater fire, The Bee building was tapped, and the three lydrants nearest the burming building were not opened. This was not:the only distant hydrant that was tapped'' at that fire, although twenty-four stréams could have been secured within a dfithnce of a block and a half of the fire. He said he was aware thAY other cities had placed fire engines in serylge, but he was of the opinion that eighty poAnds gravity pres- sure was as effective as awything that could be secured, as the stregyy,was steadier and would reach a helght of 115 feet at Fifteenth and Farnam streets. So. far as a hot fire like the Boston store was concerned, there was nothing that would do any good, as the heat was 0 intense that m stream could be thrown that would not go up In steam before it could possibly reach the seat of the fire, while the rush of air would carry it up in case It could be thrown into the seething flame. As far as a_standpipe on Capitel hill was concerned, he held that it would not add a pound to the pressure, while an independent fire main was out of the que: tion so long as the pumping station was at Florence. Tha big main now carried a pres- sure of pounds at Florence, and to in- crease this meant the constant’ bursting of the pig and no d of trouble. He was likewise satisfied that the mains in the heart of the city were plenty large enough, and sald of the one on Douglas street that it was fed on either side by mains of twelve and fourteen inches, and would furnish all the water that was necessary. Judge Dundy deelined to expre fon as to the power of the re large the Omaha plant. He said that the receivers might apply to the court for an order to carry out any of the terms of their ontract with the city, but refused to go into the subject more specifically, saying s an opin- ivers to en FEBRUARY 14 1891 when the dydrant in front of | that it was a matter that he did not care to mix up in. Fire and Polico Commissioner Stricklor said there was no question as to the insuf- flolency of the water pressure, and ex- pressed the opinion that the only remedy for the inadequacy of fire protection was elther more engines or an independent fire main from the Walnut Hill reservoir with direct pumping pressure. He held that in- asmuch as the water works company guar anteed certain things which it was not furnishing, It was only fair that this com pany should stand the expense of the fire engines that the city is now compelled to maintain to give the protection that should come from the water works company. In other words, ne thought the city should be allowed a reduction in hydrant rentals to offset the expense of such engines as might be necessary. While two-story pressure might have been good enough for Omaha at one time, It was not good enough now, and it was only occasionally that the city conld get that. He did not believe that the trouble W that the mains were too s 1, s the engines were able to get enoug water from them to do excellent exccution When tests were made the company man- aged to make a good showing, either by cutting off sid mains somewhere, or in gome other way unknown, but when It came to a fire there was no pressure ‘worthy of the name, and thousands of people had been glven frequent opportunities to wit- ness the truth of the statement. AN INSURANCE MAN'S VIEWS. General Manager Warner of the Liver- pool, London & Globe Insurance company with headquarters in Chicago, Is in the city, belng called here by the atatement that the situation in this city is alarmingly threatening from an instrance point of and the corroborative showing of the avy losses at recent large fi He was averse to expressing himself on the subject for publication, but finally adn:itted that hc was here to see what could be done ‘o bring about a chauge in exis:ing wonditins He said that the prescit system cof wiring as allowed by the existing ordinance, was a standing invitition to heavy loss, and had been reswonsibla for thousands of wol- lars worth of property golug up in smoke “Rlectricity is something that i3 recoiving the serlous ccasideration of insuranco men all over the coun'ry,” sald Mr. Warnu “It is still so new in many of its prosent uses, that it is “iur from being perfectly understood, and the mattsr of its mstalla tion in buildings s someching that will be figured on jor some time before it i entirely satisfactory. The electrical ordi- nance that is now pending before the council in this city embodies the rales adopted by the national board of underwriters, and they have just been put in -effect in Chicago T had the honor to be the chairman of the committee of the Chicago board of under writers on electric wiring, and weé have just accomplished that result, which is being generally adopted in the cities throughout the country. These rules represent —the ideas of the electricians of several of the largest cities in the country, as well as a number of insurance men Who have given the matter a ‘great deal of sl\|'1)’.v There is nothing in them that should” induce the council to hesitate a minute over their adoption, even if there was no such things as insurance or water pressure in existence “So far as water pressure is concerned, there is no disguising the fact that Omaha has outgrown the present system It is inadequate to the demands made upon it. The growth of the city has resulted in {hie extension of the system over a vast area until the supply cannot equal the demands that are made on it. I understand that there is a prospect that South Omaha will shortly put in an independent plant, and in that case the drain will be somewhat re- lieved, still that would not be sufficient, re- lief. The growth of the city has taken it entirely beyond the present system, and I do not see that anything will help it out but a series of sub-stations and additional reser- voirs. Municipal ownership of water works is & grand thing in the way of insuring per- fect fire protection, for it divorces it entirely from politics, where it is otherwise prone to be quite a factor. DEPARTMENT TOO SMALL. “The fire department is smaller than it ought to be in a city of this size, and I think that the crying need is for at least three more fire engines. The department is only about one-third the size of the fire de- partments maintained by other cities of this size. In these matters a progressive city like Omaha cannot afford to allow this con- dition to continue. “A system of clsterns at street intersec- tions in the heart of the city is a grand, good thing to have in case of fire as a sup- plementary adjunct to the fire department, We have them in Chicago, and a number of other citles are supplied in the same man- ner. They are very handy things to have in case of a bursting of a main, the freez- ing of a hydrant, a break at the pumping station, or any of the things that mlight otherwise leave the city at the mercy of the flames. ~ We have cisterns that, with the pipes connectéd with them, could not be emptied by six engines in twelve hours, “No, T do not say that I am here with any intention of pulling my company out of the city. That is not our way. What I want to do fs to assist in bringing about a differcnt condition of affairs. As far as rates are con- cerned, they ought to be higher in order to enable us to live. They are low all over the country, and here they are below the aver- age. Stll Tam not in favor of a radical ad- vance. But I do think they ought to be high enough to enable the companies to live. Yes, I am of the opinion that the new electrical ordinance will be passed. It is not to the interest of the clectric light companies to fight us, but rather to go with us. If it comes to such a state that they insist that we have no protection in this matter, we, on the other hand, might fight back in self-de- fense, and say to all parties having electric wires in their buildings, ‘Pull those out of there or we cannot sell you a policy.’ The companies would do that if forced to if, but I do not anticipate anything of the kind,~as the electric light men over the country have evinced a willingness to be reasonable in this matter. It is to thelr interest to have their wires safe, for if it is not, and proves a con- stant menace, it must militate against an enlargement of their business.” Mr. Warner held a conference with In- spector Hartman of the local insurance bureau and also with Chief Galligan of the fire department, He left last evenlng for St. Joseph. INSURANCE MEN INTERESTED, An Effort to Have th ance Put Into Full For There are falr prospects that the elec trical ordinanee is to be resurrected from the dusty pigeon hole to which it was con- signed by the committee of the whole, and that it will be soon enacted into municipal law. The insurance men have taken the matte in hand, and are crowding it vigorously They have nothing to say at the present time with reference to the city electrician claiming that they have no fight to make elther for or against Mr. Cowgill. They arc t in favor of the move looking ‘to the abolishing of that office, as that would necessitate the maintenance of an electric wire Inspector by the companies themsolyos and they naturally prefer to have the clty stand the expense of this Inspection, pro vided it will insure the insulation of wires in a manner that will be satisfactory to them. .

Cleveland Addition Titles Quicted, The supreme court has disposed of long standing controversy relative to the title of lands in Cleveland addition in the outhern part of the city. The court qulets the title in those now holding the lands. Many vears ago Jeremiah C. Wilcox en- tered a ‘tract of land which included the present addition and in 1870 his father-in- law, Platt Saunders, instituted injunction proceedings restraining Wilcox from inter- fering with a certain ten acres of the tract, alleging that he had acquired it from Wileox under a contract, the consideration of which was that Saunders was to look after Wilcox's land during his prolonged absences. The se was bitterly fought, conducted afte Saunders' death by E. V. Smith, administra- tor of his estate. It went to the supreme court twice and in the meantime Smith sold the greater portion of the property, though the title of the buyers was disputed by mem- bers of the Wilcox family. A third time the case went to the supreme conrt on an action to qulet title, with the result stated. tyan upon first wit Dwyer, the Davis murder when It Ryan in the ordered a $5, out of which he s returned the Claim Transfer Was Fraudulent.
