The fire engine and hose carriage was run out on Monday evening last and
the new water works thoroughly tested by applying two sets of hose to the
engine and less then one-half the usual labor thrown water over some of
the loftiest houses in town, which indeed can be done by merely attaching
the hose to any of the plugs, the pressure being so great that a good
stream can be thrown one hundred feet or more by the force of gravity
alone.
