The daily citation of the Precedents on the floor and the adherence to fundamental principles of procedure which they have enjoined have affected not only the technical routine of the House but also, in a larger way, its ideals of democracy in legislation, its conception of parliamentary equity, and, indirectly, its prestige as a branch of the Government. The material value of the Precedents to the House is definitely measurable. Aside from other advantages naturally to be derived from a comprehensive digest of its practice, the saving of time alone which it has effected in the daily sessions has been invaluable. Beginning with the first Congress, one of the major problems of the House has been the restriction of debate on questions of procedure.

Summary 22 I. INTRODUCTION 1 . DIVERSITY OF STANDARDS For many years there has been a great diversity in the dimensions of fire-hose couplings and hydrant connections. The appalling loss during certain disastrous fires such as the Boston fire in 1872 and the Baltimore fire in 1904 clearly demonstrate and emphasize the necessity for uniformity in fire-hose connections, fire departments of other cities frequently responding to calls for aid only to find themselves, upon arrival, unable to render assistance because their engine and hose connections would not couple up with outlets of local fire hydrants which were of a different type and diameter.
