North Shore Staten Island faced a water shortage after a large fire at the American Cotton and Trust Company in St George.

Deputy Water Commissioner Edward Miller said fire fighters were urged to minimize hydrant use to preserve pressure on Ward and Fort hills. Chief Croker defended continued hydrant use, noting salt water would harm engines.
