pounds, can be very easily carried by two men. One of the two-man outfits has been shipped to the Chief of the Fire Department of Amsterdam, Holland, who has mounted the unit on the side-car of a motor-cycle as a speedy first-call auxiliary. Some small communities in the United States have already taken advantage of the fire protection afforded by these small units made by the Northern Fire Apparatus Company, Minneapolis, Minn.

Pittsburgh Meter Company to Move

A new 5-story building located on 22 acres of ground is now nearing completion in the Brushton District of Pittsburgh, Pa., for the Pittsburgh Meter Company. The building measures 80 x 300 feet and has approximately 150,000 square feet of floor space. It is well lighted and thoroughly ventilated and equipped

money to put these possibilities into practise. Perhaps public funds are not available-school appropriations have a habit of becoming exhausted before all the needs are met. The problem then falls frequently on individual enterprise.

The situation may present difficulties, but it is not impossible of relief. Playgrounds have literally "sold themselves" to the public. Most people recognize their value and are willing to contribute to their maintenance. This is an encouraging factor in the situation. Teachers and school officials have only to take advantage of this favorable attitude on the part of the public. There are many ways in which funds have been raised, and raised in substantial quantities. Public officials who really study the situation and are determined to raise money are seldom disappointed; in fact, the results frequently surpass the most enthusiastic expectations.

Fully equipped playgrounds do not as a rule spring into existence over night. They are the result of careful planning and well-informed buying. They develop slowly, keeping pace with the need. They experience a steady, healthy growth.

with the most modern tools and machinery. At present the offices of the company will occupy the front section of the first and second floors, facing Susquehanna Street, which parallels the Pennsylvania Railroad at this point.

Special thought is being given the problem of continuing service to customers while the move is being made from the old to the new quarters. Stocks of water-meters and gasmeters will be provided at the district office warehouses of the company in sufficient quantities to insure of quick shipment of orders during the period of transmission, and large stocks of finished meters and parts will be available at both East Pittsburgh and the new location. The new address of the company will be 7800 Susquehanna Street. Pittsburgh, Pa., for mail, telegrams and express. The freight address will be Pennsylvania Railroad, Wilkinsburg, Pa., the company having a private siding from the Pennsylvania Railroad. Data on Heenan-Froude Refuse Destructors

Water Slides for Indoor and
Outdoor Use

Water slides which may be set on piers or piling for outdoor use and at the edge of indoor pools are made by the Hill-Standard Company, Anderson, Ind., and are used in many municipal swimming pools.

These slides are made entirely of steel and malleable iron except for the chute side-rails and stair-treads, which are made of high-grade rock maple, hand-finished and splinter-proof. The chute bedways are of Armco rust-resisting galvanized iron. The slides are furnished with chutes of two types-the straight type with a retarding curve at the lower end, and the wave type with one or more bumps as the length may permit.

The best practise in the use of these chutes is to have them half as high as the chute is long; thus a 16-foot chute would require a stairway and platform 8 feet in height. Most of the slides are for use in water 3 to 4 feet deep; this has proved best for general public use, as deeper water is not safe for children and adults who cannot swim.

To use these successfully, the chutes must be flushed with water. Various means are used, depending upon local conditions and the watersupply.

A New V-Type Snow-Plow

for Heavy Tractors

The new Champion V-type snow-plow which has been developed as the result of many years' practical experience with mechanical appliances by the Good Roads Machinery Company, Kennett Square, Pa., is of the general type used by railroads in keeping snow from their tracks and rights of way. Through the use of wood and steel construction, a strong, rigid, easily repaired, shock-absorbing plow of light weight is obtained. It is designed for use in deep snow and must be used with heavy tractors having sufficient power to push it. Under proper conditions it may be used to advantage with two standard 5-ton auto trucks, properly timed for operation together, one pushing behind the other.

The plow consists of an inclined platform carried on rollers and sleds with a V-type moldboard mounted on it, and a push frame arranged for attaching to the tractor. The plow is attached to move snow with the least possible effort. The adhesion of snow to itself and to the ground makes it necessary to exert tremendous force to move it sideways or forward along the ground. It is due to this fact that the ordinary V-plow has not always given satisfactory results. The new
