Charges that hose used by the fire department is rotten; that it required ten minutes to get the central tele phone station, and that a fire alarm box failed to work, will be investi gated to-day following a blaze on Forrest Avenue this morning, in which four dwellings were damaged and a number of lives imperiled. One line of hose, playing a stream on the home of Charles R. Allison, at 176 Forrest Avenue, burst twice with in a few minutes and allowed the flames to get uncontrolable headway, according to eyewitnesses. E. H. Wright, of 152 Forrest Ave nue. said to-day that he >vas on the scene w hen the hose burst both times and that for fully half an hour there was only one stream of water. Hard to Get Operator. Allison, whose sick wife was res cued from the,burning house by only the narrowest margin of tim5, said the hose burst once. Policeman Gaunt declared to-day that it took him more than seven min utes to get the central operator. Other policemen said that they w’ere ten minutes in .arousing the operator. I. K. Kenan, owner of the Allison residence, lived next door to them and said that the delay of the fire depart ment in arriving caused the greater «'hare of the loss. The fire alarm box did not register, he decided. This circumstance, combined with the alleged delay in getting central, was responsible for the fire- getting beyond control, he said. Captain Terrell, of the fire depart ment, admitted that one piece of hose burst, but said that it was guaranteed for only three years and had been In use that long or longer. Three Dwellings Ruined. The houses which were damaged by the flames were those of Allison, at 176 Fofrest Avenue; I. K. Kenan, at 174 Forrest Avenue; Mrs. Annie Owen, at 178 Forrest Avenue, and J. C. Owens, of Bedford Place. The last residence is only slightly damaged. A young negro woman was probably fatally wounded by a bullet which was tired in a fusillade of shots to alarm the neighbors. She ran to her window at 24 Fairfax Street just in time to get the missile in her breast. Mrs. Allison, w r ho is the mother of a 4-week-old baby, is recovering from the shock of her terrifying experience. She was carried from the burning building by her husband and swooned when she reached the street. It was necessary to call a physician to treat her. The crowd which gathered about the burning structures was alarmed for a few minutes by the cry that Mrs. Allison’s baby was still in the house, bu tthe infant was found safely shortly afterward. It had been carried out by Miss Louise Marsh, who roomed in the Allison home. She had given it in charge of a neighbor while she returned to get some of her be longings, and because of this no one knew' for a time what had become of the child. ■ Hose Reported Rotten. Reports have reached the Mayor that as soon as the water was turned on some of the hose % ripped open like wet paper and seriously interfered with the work of the firemen in try ing to check the flames that totally destroyed the Allison home and two adjoining residences. These reports bear out the evi dence I have obtained, that no tests of the efficiency of hose in the de partment are made and no record of the guarantees kept,’’ declared the Mayor. “Up to two years ago the hose pur chased by the department was guar anteed to stand a pressure of 400 pounds for five years. The hose bought now has a three-year guaran tee. From documentary evidence I have obtained I can prove that the important matters of tests and guar antees have been ignored. "There is no telling how* much rot ten hose a thorough investigation of our Fire Department might reveal.” Fire Chief W. B. Cummings said to-day that it was not defective hose that caused the bursting, and that the break did not occur until the fire virtually was out. He said the hose burst because of kinks, made by it being wrapped around a tree. Mrs. Allison was the first to see the fire noticing the reflection on the windows of neighboring houses. She aw oke her husband, who w rapped her quickly in a blanket and carried her from the house to the home of neighbor across the street. She was placed under the care of Dr O M Matthews, of 23 Highland Avenue, and is in a critical condition. Their two-year-old daughter was hastily rescued, and a moment later Miss Marsh appeared with the baby, Charles. The occupants of the other houses escaped without mishap. The negro woman, Sa ly Jones, was taaen Grady hospital. She is not ex pected to live. $23,000,000 Invested In Autos in Georgia One Hundred More Tags Will Run Number of Machines Licensed Past 20,000.
