UNION GREAT How the Bridges AffeetUe Holly System, 't THE FIRE PRESSURE REDUCED Opposition to Further Drainage on the System Manifesting Itself Some Fact that are Pertinent al Present Time. It is possible, in fact It is quite probable before the ordinances now before the Common Council, asking for legislation directing the erection of the Beveral lift bridges over the canal in this city come up for final action, opposition enough will develop itself to cause- delay if not actual indefinite postponement. And this opposition which is developing itself does not come from those who are afraid they may be called upon in the end pay some kind of roll assessment. Rather is based upon the intimate relation which question has to the water supply question. In other words the kick is not against bridges themselves, but against the use Holly water for bridge lifting purposes.

There are at present the Plymouth avenue, West Main, Allen and. Brown streets and Lyell avenue bridges that are operated by the Holly system ahdthef a are proposals for additional bridges at Exchange street, Caledonia avenue and Rowe Etreet. Just the amount of water that is used per day by the bridges now in existence during canal season can not be told. re porter of the Democrat and Cb-roniclk has endeavored for' the past several days to obtain information on this point, but has found that there is no data in existence by which the answer may be This much is known, that the water ucl is discharged into the canal. It was at first intended, said Chief Engineer Kuichling, to have the' water thus used discharged into sewers, and have do service in Hushing the sewers, but there are no lead sewers in the vicinity of the bridges, so it is discharged into the canaL The only figures that can be given now showing the amount of water used is that the average amount per week used now is about 2, 000, 000 gallons less than in the summer season.

It is of course a question whether these figures represent the quantity used for bridge purposes. J. W. Gillia is one of those oppposed to the erection of more lift bridges and in stating the grounds of bis opposition he said The Holly system was put in chiefly for fire purposes, and I claim it is wrong to divert the water for bridge pur poses, for it can only damage the water pressure for fire purposes. There are up ward of half a dozen bridges now using the water and the aldermen seem to be anxious to have more bridges put in as rapidly as possible.

Do they know that they are doing or how' much they are endangering our property by so doing? There is not a bit too much pressure now in cases of a tire. If there is a new bridge erected at Rowe street the main has got to be extended upwards of half a mile in order to supply water for It. That is all right, for it is iu Alderman Kel ly's ward, but how about the east side! The Holly main only extends east to -iwaa street. Are we net as much entitled to have it extended to Goodman street for fire purposes and for sprinkling as th people down in the country are for bridge purposes upon while I am about it. Tha tax payers on East avenue from Goodman street have this year paid into the highway fund, for repair purposes $2,214 Ui that amount exactly $150 has been allowed on the street.

What I want to know is where does the rest go to i-rant J. Amsaen, another or tnose op posed to lijt bridges on the same grounds said Wheritbe test of the Holly system was made, it was in the presence of insur ance men from all over the state, and on the etrength of the exceedingly good showing in pressure the insurance rates were made very low. The use of the water for bridge purposes can't help but lower the pressure, and one of the inevitable results is going to be higher rates if this thing keeps on. If Engineer Kuichling says it is all right then I have nothing to say, but I should think it proper for the author itiee to get his opinion of the matter before building any more bridges. I can imagine a combination of circum stances that would cause a great deal of trouble.

For example, supposing there was a fire and just when the firemen need all the pressure possible to fight the flames. boats come along to each of the bridges. It takes a boat some little time to pass a bridge and by the time the pressure was relieved. the fire might be beyond control. That one of the' dangers that 1 think should be considered.

President Miller, of the Rochester Board of Fire Underwriters, in discussing the subject with a Democrat and Chronicle reporter said that while no formal action had been taken by the board, its members had discussed the matter informally. I don't know just how much the pressure is affected by that means, said he, but I do know that when the system was first tested the pressure was sufficient to throw a five-inch stream more than two hundred feet high. Thirty-five such streams were played at one time between the old liberty pole and the West Main Btreet bridge and the average hoight was 135 feet. I don't think you could throw a single stream to-day more than fifty feet into the air. Whether it is the result of the water used for bridges or what not 1 can't say, but the question is one that ought to be investigated.

Chief Bemish of the Fire Department said It is dead wrong to build any more bridges and operate them with the Holly system. When we are at a fire I can detect by the lessening of tha pressure the moment a bridge is being It makes things too uncertain, and some, day the city will suffer for it. The department works at a disadvantage because of it. If they; are bound to have lift, bridges, make the state furnish the power. It is only a matter of time when the present bridges will have to be operated by some 'other power.

If there 13 any oner who don believe the bridges affect the pressure let him go to our pump house at night. When the bridges can not be operated much, everything runs as smooth as need be. Take when boats are passing and it all but tears things pieces, it is impossible to run the pump and wheel evenlv. 11 Failure of Harvey G. Harvey G.

Presentation to Justice Bancroft on His Retirement From the Bench. The last day of the old year was also the last day of the official career of Justice of Sessions William R.

Bancroft, of Webster, who has been for the past four years a justice of the Court of Sessions, and his official associates grasped the opportunity to give him a realizing sense of their warm regard and friendship. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when Crier Bradstreet convened the court in the judge's chambers, Judges Werner and Kinney and Side Justices Fuller and Bancroft were seated upon the magisterial bench. The room was crowded with lawyers, deputy sheriffs, court attendants and others, all friends of the retiring justice. District Attorney Benton, in a brief speech, called the attention of the court to the occasion about to be celebrated and Judge Werner responded in a speech full of appreciation for his associate. A handsome oak and plush chair was brought in by two of the court attendants and presented to Justice Bancroft, who in a brief speech tried to express his feeling3 on the occasion.

A Surprised Pastor. The Sunday-school room of the Reformed Presbyterian Church on Alexander street, was crowded to its utmost capacity Tuesday evening, the occasion being the Christmas entertainment of the school. At the Close of the exercises and distribution of gifts, Thomas Logan made a few remarks expressive of the general good will of the eongregation toward their pastor, Rev. J. M.

McElhinney, after which G. S. Montgomery stepped forward and in a more substantial way gave evidence of the love of the people for their pastor by presenting hun a beautiful gold watch. Mr. Mc Elhinney thanked his friends heartily for the grift, assuring them of his continued and earnest devotion to his work with them dur iug the coming year.

Operetta in St. Mary's Hall. This will be the last evening for this do liuhtful entertainment. The hail has been crowded every evening since it began. audiences were charmed by the singing as well as by the beautiful appearance of the fiity youthful vocalists.

Miss Katharine Burns will give readings between the acts this evening.

It was also shown that Thomas Murray, the only man of the gang who has thus far escaped arrest, was the one who did the stabbing, but Justice Keeler held Patrick Brown, Henry Daly, and Michael Cummings, Jr. for the grand jury, and discharged John Po6t and Elmer II. Schultz. Decisions from Justice Davy.
