There is little doubt that the report will be favorable, since the truck passed all tests last week with plenty of reserve. The Board of Fire Underwriters will submit their report and recommendation to the City, and the City Council will accept or reject the fire truck as they recommend. Tests of the new fire fighting equipment were conducted last week under the direction of Lloyd Graham, Salt Lake City, representative of the B. F. U., and A. D. Quinn of Los Angeles, field representative of the American LaFrance Foamite Corporation. The truck was taken down to the Mill Pond for the pumping tests, where it was required to pump continuously for three hours at pressures from 150 pounds to For the first two 250 pounds. hours it was required to pump 500 gallons per minute at 50 pounds hour pressure. Then for one-ha- lf the machine was required to pump at 200 lbs. pressure for 350 g. p. m., then for another half hour at 250 lbs. pressure for 250 g. p. m. Fire Chief John Broadbent said the truck pumped 550 g. p. m. for the two-hotest, giving a 10 per cent reserve. Firemen game the machine an adidtional spurt test, during which it pumped 667 g. p. m. This is a 30 per cent reserve over the official test requirements. After the pumping test, the truck was given a road test to check its power on grades with required loads. The truck was driven over a number of steep slopes in the hills north of town, and appeared to have plenty of reserve power, the Fire Chief said. Chief Broadbent said the truck was not given a speed test Although engineer assure firemen that the truck can be driven up to 90 miles per hour, they ere cautioned against driving it at high speed for tlie sake of safety. Mr. Broadbent reported that the firemen had no wish to endanger others or themselves by driving the equipment at excessve road speeds Old Fire Track The city has not as yet traded in the old pumping truck, and there are indications that it may be kept as emergency equipment Chief Broadbent declared that the Mayor and members of the City Council have been approached concerning this matter and are now studying the problem.
