火灾的被阻止的街道。
费城公告触及了一个实用的话题。非常实用的方式，因此：“昨晚火灾产生的效果之一是在核桃，第八，第九和第十街上阻止汽车;第十街的停工停止在第十一的跑步，第八次停止在绿色，浣熊和第四次停止。The blockade was put down at a little after six o’clock, and was not raised until considerably after eight o’clock—just about the most inconvenient two hours for such a break in travel that could have been selected from the entire twenty-four. So serious a disturbance of the economy of the city as was this, should not be permitted ; especially when the means for preventing it are so simple and so cheap. The blockade was caused by lines of hose across the car tracks, and all that was required to enable the cars to pass was suitable provision of “ hosejumpers,” or little arches making the track continuous over the hose. Had these been provided, there need not have been a moment’s delay on either of the impeded streets, excepting Chestnut and Ninth, and even on these streets it would have been quite possible to pass the cars by the aid of a few additional policemen to restrain the crowd when the guard-ropes were let down. The addition of four “hose-jumpers” to the furniture of each hose carriage would not make any appreciable difference, by reason of added weight to be carried, to the effectiveness of the service, and would cost so little that the item of expense need not even be considered. The resulting advantage, as is sufficiently obvious, would be very great.”
