特伦顿的良好火灾记录。
The report on the conditions of Trenton, N. J., by the committee on fire-prevention of the National Board of Underwriters cannot but be exceedingly gratifying not only to Chief Allen and the officers and men of the fire department, but, also, to the citizens in general. The streets are kept in good condition—for speedy fire-service —and the citizens should see that, as regards both the water and fire departments, every requisite should be supplied, as far as possible. It must be remembered that Trenton is not only the capital of the State, but is, also, commercially a place of considerable importance. As the chief centre of the pottery trade on this continent it enjoys a high reputation, and is, besides, a city in which other manufactures are extensively carried on. The population is over 84,000. So far as the contour of the city goes, it is practically flat, all the grades being easy. Its streets, however, though kept in good order, are generally narrow, especially in the congested districts, whereby the danger of a fire spreading is considerably increased, all the more that there are in its streets many wooden buildings. Hence, the need of a specially efficient fire department is manifest and this Chief Allen supplies, so far, at least, as the money allowed him will stretch. The underwriters expressly note that the fire record is very good. Their report is as follows:
供水。- 由市政当局拥有和运营的作品。管理博览会。来自特拉华河的供应量为分发水库，供应大约9天的供应；在一项服务中分发。没有直接进入分配系统的规定。抽水能力足够。消费相当大。各个建筑物，保护设备的压力不足。通常大小的主要动脉； but secondary feeders not always well connected to main arteries or to the minor distributers and often entirely lacking. A large portion of distributing mains too small; much sediment in the system. Gate-valve spacing generally good; but gates are far apart in some cases. Hvdrant-spacing fair in congested-value districts; much too wide elsewhere. Many hydrants of unsatisfactory type: in fair condition.
