CANT WAT TO FIGKT FIRE SAYS CROKER a Chief Asserts Weak Pres- Sure Responsible for Half Million Blaze. TROUBLE IS GENERAL Department Handicapped, He Declares, in Many Recent Destructive Fires. NOT SO, SAY OFFICIALS | Engineer McKay Denies Charge, and Says Trouble Lies with Croker's Men, Not His, The statement of Chief Croker, of the Fire Department, that the blaze in ‘Wooster street last night, with a dam ‘age of half a million dollars, was caused | by the want of p has stirred emong the offi the Water De partment, These officials claim in effect that the fire chief does not know what he {8 talking about, and that while he water pressure. trouble may know all about fires he knows lit tle about the water system of New York. Not only ts it the claim of Chief Croker that the would ni but fort of recent da blage of jast night have got away from them want of water, but that there have been a ium- ber of fires which gathered headway from the same cause. There was a $60,000 loss in the plano factory, Nos, 634 to 638 West Fitty-eighth wrest, yes terday morning, and one wok wo a8 much more on the Comsolidatud Gas Company's plant at ithe foot of West Forty-second street. Only a short time ago on the far east side, in Grand street, there was a@ five-alanm fire Engines Sent Back. For the want of water, however, many ef the engines that responded on the fitth alarm were sent back to quarter “Had the water pressure lest night even been normal," Chief Croker said, “the fire never would have got UD w the sixth story. Under the favorable eonditions {t should never hive gone beyond the second floor, We had © eend in five alarms which brougat twenty-six companies, when half @ dozen ought to have been able to do the work. “At the hydrants the pressure was 60 weak that the engines could not do Qnything and in fact there were oer tain companies that came on the fifth alarm and could not get water at all One of these days New York wil! wake up to @ big conflagration because of this.” When Chief Engineer John E. McKay, of the Deparment, heard of Chief Croxer’s statement he was indig- nant, Ie got down his maps showing the water system of the city and pointed out the various maina in the section where the fire occurred last night, ater Says Mains Are All Right. “In Bleecker street, he sald, there ta a ¢welve-inch main. In Houston street a @imilar one. In Wooster street a twen- ty and a six-inch main. Avenue there are two thirty-inch mains and one twelve-inch main, On Greene street there fs a twonty and a twelve, and this is In the immediate section of the fire, “There are double-nozsle hyfrants all over that section, one on the north slide and two on the @outh side of South Fifth avenue, several On Wooster and Greene streets and all around there. “As @ matter of fact, the water was never turned off, and {t never is turned off except in the case of a broken main, ‘hore was no break yesterday and there was plenty of water to fight any fire, “Ot course, if they put all their en- @ines to work in one immediate locality you cannot expect one or two mains to give the desired pressure, “There was a complaint to this office Jess than 4 weok ago about low pres- sure opposite No, 22 Wooster street. ‘We sent there at 3 o'clock in the after. noon and found thirty-one pounds pressure. Always Plenty of Water, plenty of It—enough'to fight any that will ever start In this city. 1 would like to know what time the en- gines got to work on that blaze. Per- haps it might explain how it got such oer: i The fire last night is nevertheless ri ported to have been discovered promp’ y, as there is an engine house almo: directly in front of the bullding, and the Heutenant of the company first gave ‘the alarm.
