FIRE 1—We proposd to . consider this quéption in refeféhce to the water .works, intended to secure property j against fire in Nevada city, If our fire companies will experiment a little they will find: that, with the present presstire of water at the head of the pipe, we have but. very little security against another general conflagration. The last fire was very unjustly ot erroneously attributed to to the carelessness of the Water Co., or their agents employed to manage the water works, while many persons even wéntso far as to charge the -parties .manageing them of having shut the . water off by stop cocks. We are well satisfied, after a careful inspection of the water works, that the impu. is witbout foundation; and that the fault lies fii the covstruction of the water works_ Tf the fire companies will: adopt a practical experiment, they will find that the more fire plugs they open for-the flow of water at the same time, the less pressure of water there will be at each plug, and that-so svon as“they open enough to discharge a volume ume of water at the head of the pipe, (inan abstract sense considering the gurface of the openings) the pressure of water will only be as much at each fire plug as the pressure of water at the head of the pipe, viz: about three feet. This would not be the pressure at firat opening; for then there would bea pressure equal to the height of the column of water in the pipe apd rteservoit; bugs soon as the water had time to flow from the head to the discharge, with a disgharge equl to the supply, the pressure would entirely cease so fur as the pressure of the column of water in the pipe is considered. Itis true that the fall -would give the current flowing through the pipe an acceleras ted velocity; but 1t would not increase its pressure ab the discharge. Now unless we have a sufficient pressure of water at the head of the pipe, the supply will not be equal to the demanded discharge of water fiom the fire plugs in case of fire; and neith« er the Water Co. nor the fire companies will be responsible 1f-the city is* aguin des stroyed by fire, for the reason that the fault lies in the construction of the water works and not in their management. We visited the reservoir~at the bead of the water works this morning, Sept. 17th, for the purpose of arriving at a correct cencluaion. whether the works would be likely to atm ford protection to property in this city against another fire. As near as-we could ascertain there is a depth of water in the reservoir aboye the mouth of the pipe of about three feet. The reservoir when full will perhaps ‘contain a depth of. water at the mouth of the pipe of about five or six feet. Ae the pressure of water is proportioned to its depth and not the quantity of water, in Order tehave. # supply, there should be greater depth uf water in the reservoir at the head of ‘the pipe. “4 It has been ascertained by actual experi» ment that the pressure of water by ite depth increases at the saine ratio as that of the accellerated velocities of fulling bodies, vixt that water at the depth of 16 feet 1 web will foree water through an aperture at that depth at the rate of 32 feet 2 inches per secoud; or.a quantity of water equal tu the sige of the aperture, 32 feet 2 inches ip, length per second, By this rate we can easily ascertain what quantity of supply water will be equal to. the demanded discharge in any given instance, We may calculate the discharge of each or all of the fire plugs with any given preasure that may be deemed ne= cessaty to project the stream of water.— { The increased length of the pipe below the reservuir cannot accelerate the supply of water but. very little, though it may curtail it. This may also be demonstrated by experiment. Cut off the;pipe immediately at the reservoir so as toaliow the water flow. ing through it te escape freely, and it will discharge the water Of the reservoir in nears ly the same time ae it will be diseharged through the pipe in Nevada city, or through & pipe of any greater length.

Then there is no dans . ger of a vacuum in the pipe or ite collapse. With the Nevada water works it is not necessary that the depth of the water in the reservoir, viz: from the surface of the water down to the mouth of the pipe, should be equal to-a perpendicular line indicating the fall of the water in the pipe from the mouth of the pipe to the discharge firg. plugs, for the reason: that.the line of the pipe is ob» lique; therefore the motion of the water hot necessary that the water in the reservoir should be ofthe same depth from al) parts of its surface. It will be sufficient if it is of the proper depth from a pvint at the sur-: facé of the water immediately above the . mouth of the pipe. . If it should be objected that it would be difficult to raise the banks of the present reservoir-so as to give the water eufficient depth, perhaps a scientific survey might demonstrate that. the reservoir should be lo« cated in some other place. It is certainly the interest of the owner of the water works;.4.-as well as the interest of the proférty hold= . ers-of Nevada city, that this subject should be investigated ; for if the city is ayain des’ stroyed by fire it is vety doubtful whether . e citizens would have the heart to rebuild The water works and ‘materials thereof would then be-of but little value to the owner. The property: holders of Nevada city doubtless know whether they will willingly stand another general conflagration. We tell you unless you look to this subject and provide against destruction by the devouring element, your property is liable to be swept ftom you at any hour. It ie useless for us tv have either pipe or bose in time of fire, or firemen to tan them, unless they are supplied: with water. It will take but-a trifliug expense to insure preperty in the city. against fire. Ifthe owner of the water works cannot affurd to make the improvements necessary to insure protection agtinet fire, the inhabitants and property owners in Nevada city should do it at their wwn expense. Twentyefive cents on the $100, perhaps, would raise a sufficient fund to make the necessary improvements. syggested. It has been estimated that the fires in Nevada city of 1856, 1858 and 1863, destroyed over two millions of property. Then, we say to the owner of the water works and the property owners in Nevada city, that it behooves them to take action on this subject immediately. A NevabDa CITIZEN. .
