New England WaterWorks Men Discuss Fire Hydrant Outlets
This and Other Important Water Works Topics at Annual Convention—Large Attendance—Excellent Exhibits—Good Entertainment
ALARGE part of one session—that of Thursday evening —was devoted by the members of the New England Water Works Association in their forty-second annual convention to the discussion of a paper on “Hydrant Connections for Fire Engines" by Frank A. Marston, C. E. This important subject was treated both in the paper and in the discussions in all of its various phases. The usual New England Water Works luck attended the convention and smiling skies greeted the members assembled at the little city of Burlington, Vt., on beautiful Lake Champlain. The only stormy day was Friday and by then a number of the members had departed for their homes and the remainder were pretty well occupied by indoor sessions at the Van Ness Hotel, so that the inclement weather did not matter so much. The attendance at the convention, while not so large as at some previous similar occasions, was fairly good, considering the distance of the convention city. The business sessions were well attended, the discussions were lively and general, and the entertainment was excellently arranged and very enjoyable.
