Poor Water Supply at Putnam Co Fire on Congress Street
The 12 inch main on Congress Street supplied about 3500 gallons per minute with several hydrants either dead ended or in use for multiple engines. Fire Commissioner Fitch blamed delays in facility upgrades, while City Engineer Jackson described plans for a larger B Street main and a new 20 inch Swett Street main to improve future service. Citizens mourn the impact on shopkeepers, workers, and families in the affected district as strikers and displaced workers face hardship.

Hunger in New York’s Ridge Street Tailor Strike Area
In a wealth shadowed district, about 170 starving families, possibly 1000 people, lack food and homes. Polish Jewish strikers and their children endure four to five weeks without steady work as the Tailors and Coat makers Union struggles to provide. The scene at Ridge and Attorney streets shows dirty, bare rooms, no furniture, and crusts of food as the only sustenance while hope for better times fades.
