K, DECLARES ARBITER ? C. F. Wagner, engineer of the Oregon fnsurance rating bureau, stated in the conference Saturday called by C A. Ilgelow to decide upon the merits of the tiew $13,000 Stuts pumper purchased for -the fire department, that the machine was in no -way to be considered In efficient, or Inferior to any other make. 5 The point of contention over the ma chine was brought np by Fire Chief John E. Toung, whq.. objected to the fact the pumper has a. Inch suction and a t inch water-way, whereas the present apparatus had a 5 inch suction nd a S Inch water-way. That this dif ference would throw a greater strain on the apparatus than was necessary was " the -contention . of tne chief. Wagner pointed out that, the main thing in fire apparatus was to get a piece that would lieliver water 1 at a fire and that the (tuts pumper did that without' any me an leal difficulty. ;4, i Assistant uniei auaenaios and Bat talion Chief Holden stated they thought the Stuts pumper -was superior to any the department bad or any , that they had seen in operation, The testimony brought forth in the conference showed that Chief Toung had not been present at, the official trial of the pamper and that the others! had been. , ; r - p. Bigelow stated that Toung had ob jected to' the Stuts. pumper even before he saw it and charged him with being prejudiced against it without cause. : The specifications for the ; pumper called for a delivery of 1000 gallons of water a minute at a pressure of 120 pounds. The official record showed that the pumper actually delivered 1095 gallons st a pressure of 128 pounds. The results of the other tests were : At a pressure of 215 pounds the pumper de livered 517 gallons and at 225 pounds' pressure 412 gallons. The report was signed by Wagner and the master me chanic of the fire department. .
