Thomson Plan Beats Expensive Salt Water Fire Mains
City Engineer Thomson wins approval for a cheaper salt water fire protection plan. The new scheme halves the cost of the initial install to about 340 000 to 500 000 dollars with annual maintenance of 66 000 to 96 000 dollars. The harbor end will allow rapid connection to a fire boat and cross mains will run up from the waterfront on every other street from Pike to Jackson. Chief Bringhurst backs the plan as sufficient for ordinary conflagrations and business leaders withdraw support for the costlier option.
