An investigation is underway byMain Line f ire off ic ia ls to determineresponsibility fo r th e inadequate

water supply that hampered firemenin fighting the Villanova College fireTuesday.

According to officials the greater

part o f t he monastery proper and themonastery chapel could have been saved if t he re h ad been sUfficient wateravailable. Under better conditions,they claim, the firc could have been

confined to Good Counsel Hall wherei t s tar ted.

A preliminary statement i ~ s l l e d byVillanova College aut ho ri ti es and

Radnor Township offieials has e st ab lished the fact that there ha s been noimprovement in t he w at er s up pl y o r

water pressure since the fire that destroyed Mendell Hall in 1928. Firemenencountered the same difficulty in obtaining water at that time, they say.Main Line fire companies, Villanova

College, Radnor Township, and th e

Philadelphia Suburban Water Company have been drawn into the in

vestigation and discussion.

Township should have authorized

more fire hydrants on Lancaster avenue in front of the college. Fire companies are being held accountable fo rmaking too many hose taps on the college hydrants, which i s said to have
