a There Thero is no pressure whatever er In the Ai side c streets there are arc six-inch six mains main and on Broad Broad- Broadway way there thero is a a. six inch main But tho the pressure from front tho the Broadway main was more than half Jo lost t as a result of tho the distance from the fire Many fany of the time engines worked under undera a pound five vacuum instead of fifteen tl to
