THE RECENT FIRE AT KURIPUNI.
To the Editor.
Sir,--Would you kindly allow me space in your paper to raise a difference on Captain Jenkins', statement as regards the pressure of water at the recent fire. First of all, Mr Jenkins fays there was a poor pressure of water on Friday morning. Well, Sir, if Mr Jenkins would see that all his hose couoPngs were equipped with decent washers, which would stop a good deal of the leakage, he would 'obtain a more satisfactory re suit as regards the pressure,and what is more, the pressure was taken from the same hydrant on the morning after the fue, and the gauge registered 80 pounds. What more does a Brigade want. I don't know whether it is the two shillings an hour "racket" or not, but ever since there has been a Board in force there has been the cry of a poor pressure. Well, Sir, I neve>had the pleasure of going to college, so you cabnot expect a firstclass letter. Trusting Mr Jenkins will get a new supply of washers before the next fire occurs.—-I am, etc.,* !* TWO SIDES TO A QUESTION High Street, Masterton.
