CALL FOR DIRECT PRESSURE
No Official Statement Made by the Ral.
eljth Water Company.
To the Public: Every one in Raleigh
kuows lliat there was a great lire in. this
city on yesterday. -jmd that the city and
a nmnhcr of citizens sustained great
IKNMiniary hws. HveryoiH' is equally
n ware of the fact that there was great
complaint against the Waler Company
for the lack of pressure to throw water
on the burning buildings. It is just ns
true that something was radically wrong
with the company, and that the Fire
Department, in. which the city has the
greatest confidence and pride, was lianili
cai'iped ami prevented from doing good
service by tile weakness of the Water
Coiiiininy and its utter failure to comply
with tlie contract of tlie city. To out
siders it would appear that the Fire De
partment was not up to its usual high
stamhird in the work of yesterday. This
is not true; there coitld have been no
more valiant service ren-denil or more
conscientious.
There have idapsid since the tire more
than twenty-four hours and t'.t offcers
of the Water Company are aware of
the fact that the city is indignant and
that severe criticism has been muule of
the management of their p:irt in the
work of fighting the flames. But in the
face of this tlie officers of the company
avoid the issue on the grounds that their
has Im'cii no official complaint:
If this is true and it is necessary for
official eomii1niuit to be made to bring
the Water Company lo a realization of
'the comliilion tlmt confronts them il
would not be unwise for the Chief of
the Fire Department, wltosv dctNirtmcut
otherwise will recvive criticism from tlie
uninformed, to lodge the report regarding
ihe tire of yesterday anil to state the
facts regarding the pressure, furnished
at tlie beginning of tin' tile and at the
ciiie of the work of lighting the IImuics.
It. would not lo unwise since the Water
Company awaits such action before of
fering defence. 1 1 is surpi ising to I lie
friends of the Winer Company 'that the.i
should delay a moment in making a state
ment to Ihe public. It is hariassing lo
the public that sueh a display of disre
gard ami lack of consideration of t be
public interests and opinion should lie
undo by the Water Company.
If tlie Waler Company insists on the
tiling of an official niort on their fail
ure of yesterday, then let a rewirt be
tiled. If tlie Chief of the Fire Dcparl
iiiieiit is of the opinion that the waler
pressure was all that he desired for the
work of controlling the tlaiucs let him
say s-. Anil in the event that no other
method will bring alsnil the explanation
demanded by the public interests, it is
the duty of the Board of Aldermen to
fi' the issue tomorrow night ami order
n thorough investigation of the conduct
of the Water Company, and especially
of the failure to meet the requirements
at yesterday's lire. B-
