Act'on begau this morning at 10.15 sharp when an alarm was turn ed in from the tire alarm box near est the hjgh school building. Response to the alarm was very prompt, both among pupils within the building and at the Engine Mouse on Matthews street. In exactly one minute and forty five s' conds a stream of water wa playing upon the roof of the high school building. In two minutes and lifty seconds a ladder had been tun up to a thlid story window. In three minutes and five soconds the " second Hi earn of water spurted from the hoze nojzle. This Is considered a most excel lent showing fop Chief Flora's com pany, especially as about 700 feet, of hoze had to be laid before the first hydrant tapped could be turned on. Even at that, however, the company would have made a better showing but for the fact that an automobile bad stopped immdiately in front of the hydrant, causing several sec ond's delay. At the first signal the pupils in the high school building began to pour out on the ground in steady and rapidly moving streams. The" building was emptied in three min utes by no means a bad showing when it Is remembered that the building is crowded, the enrollment being over a hundred pupils larger than ever before. Moreover, this was the second drill of the session In this building and there were new teachers as well as new uplls to be considered . Chief Flora and a corps of news paper men then went to the Pri mary school on Harney street and -the fire drill was gone through' with there.- The building, which houses about 400 jMipilB, Va emptied ltt t minute and 60 seconds.
