Street mains--Additional cross- 'connecting mains" should be laid "through the system so that they shall 'be not more than 600 feet apart, and 'all dead ends should be placed in cir- "culation. 43% of the mains are 4- "inches in diameter, and too small for fire protection; they should be replaced or reinforced by 6-inch or larger mains. 18. Hydrants -- A few additional section, so that the distance between them shall not exceed 250 feet. Some residential parts are virtually without hydrant protection; hydrants should be installed on-all residential streets so that the distance between them! shall not be more than 500 feet. 19. Running pressures -- The dis- ! charge from 2 streams was at the ap- proximate rate of 449,000 Imperial gallons per 24 hours, or 25.2% short of the discharge from 2 Standard streams.
