Salt Water Fire Supply Seen As Safeguard In London and New York

A historical perspective argues that water shortages hindered 1861 Tooley Street fire response and 19th century New York blazes. It advocates salt water fire suppression via coastal pumping stations, steam engines, and non freezing hydrants, asserting modern systems could prevent wide fire spread and protect extensive warehouses and combustibles.

Fire, fortune, and a mobile heart in Gotham’s pages

The column blends commentary on a grand fire at Morrell’s stores and Vanderbilt interests with a digressive note on urban housing value and insurance of riches. It humorously extols an Open Stove Ventilating Company device, contrasts municipal generosity for Michigan farmers with New York’s social seething, and sketches maritime club talk, including a shift by the Scotch cutter Madge and Whitehall boats.
