WATER HYDRANTS AND
MAINS NEED REPAIR
uniei now&ia spent, several aays
this week going over' the City Fire
mains. Hydrants, drains and mains
were investigated as thoroughly as
conditions would permit. Sufficient
evidence was obtained to satisfy the
Chief that the entire system is bad
ly in need of attention.
Hydrants are rusted and wrench
holds battered to such extent that
water could be turned on only with
a stilson or other special wrench.
Caps were encrusted with rust and
some were so firmly seated that only
after severe hammering could they
be loosened, indicating that they
had not been removed for years.
Chief Howald used graphite lubri
cant and aheavy oil on all the hy
drants visited; loosened the caps
and did other work to make the hy
drants fit to use in case of fire.
As soon as the snow is away from
the mains and drains the system
will be filled with water and tested
out for leaks and breaks. Undoubt
edly extensive repair work will have
to be done to bring the system up
to required fitness top public safety.
In conjunction with an investiga
tion of the water system Chief Ho
wald and Tom Kohanek visited all
the alarm boxes in the City and
sent in test alarms. Some slight
repairs were necessary, otherwise
the alarm system is fit and ready
for business.
The belt idler, attached to the
engine in the basement of the Sta
tion, was found to be out of line
and decidedly awkward to adjust.
Engineer John BritziU9 placed the
idler in alignment and devised a
more simple expeditious method of
bolding the wheel in place.
