Q, Vow, Chief Case9 dlreotlnt year attention to the dis­crepancy on the West Side of 2000 gallons required flow and the 326 fallens available, if a major fire occurred on the West Side, would that be sufficient to endanger the entire section of that community? A. Yes| for example, that new school building—If there was a fire in that school, I couldn't got sufficiont water to handle it* Q. And would that hold true in these other areas in which there's e great discrepancy between the aetual and the required pressures? A. That's right. I would like to say, as sn example of this required flow of **750 gallons on First, between Ogdon and Fremont, and we show 3335 gallons — this is based net m ay figures but an engineer from the Board of Ohderwrlters, and that Is the required flow in that araa. If we had a major fire, such as the Apache Hotel, and got a big fir# going in there, with the equipment we have, we couldn't hope to cope with it. Q, In your opinion, does this lack of pressure constitute a serious hasard to the City of las Togas? A. It does very definitely constitute a serious hasard. We have been fortunate as we have ©ever had a major ecnfhgratien here*
