It is expected that auto- matic signal horns will be placed at important strcet corners, especially at junctions such as Commercial and Main strects, wherc fire apparatus needs a clear track in responding tc alarms. hese signals would be con- nected with the alarm em so as to sound the box number in conjunc- tion with the fire bell.

Attorney Saxe pleaded for leniency on the grounds that his client was a vietim of circum- stances, had been duped by an un- scrupulouis partner and had lost $600, the savings of years, in the venture. He d Kavalis had offered the place for sale, because of knowing little about business.

Manufacturing | FIRE DEPT. T0 BE MABE FIRST CLASS| Safety Board to Ask for $105,450 Appropriation Effects of the “firebug” scare were openly apparent at last night's spe- sion of the safety board in | scrutiny of fire department requisitions for next year, conviction that additional apparatus is necessary an determination to maintain the present high efficiency of local protec- tion, cial ses close Unanimous approval was given | of the proposition to establish a new ( fire station in the southwestern part of the city, provide adequate equipment for a thoroughly “flying squadron” and secure a new aerial motor-drawn and one-man-hoist aeria] truck. With the establishment of the new station, it is proposed to locate the “flying squadron” at head- quarters on Commercial street or one of the ather centrally located sta- tions. In addition to the above equipment, the commissioners will make requisi- tion for a number of pieces of ap- | paratus or smaller type. They will include several smoke masks, life net, pulmotors and equipment for a deck pipe, the latter to be fitted on one of the department's supply wag- ons. All of the commissioners were unanimously in favor of placing the department on a basis of highest ef- ficiency, Chairman Babcock pointing out that an expert of the Fire Under- writers’ Association has reviewed the local situation and given his opinion that but comparatively few changes are necessary to place the city in the A class, relative to rates for insur- ance. *; Will Scek $105,450 For Fire Dept. The total that will be asked from the finance board the coming year will be $105,450 for the fire department, against between $68,000 and $69,000 for this vear. A part of the increase will be mnecessary because of in- creased salaries for the firemen as well as provisions for the six addi- tional permanent men needed, vaca- tions and sickness. Contractor John Kuhns was pres- ent at the meeting to advise the com- missioners relative to matters con- | nected with certain repairs that are | deemed necessary at the various. fire | stations. All of the commissioners attended and the meeting lasted until nearly 11:30 o'clock After going over the list it was re- ported that the money needed for eighteen new lockers, new coats, tow- eling, bed clothing, chairs, plumbing, painting and paper hanging, roofs at | fire stations 2, 3 and 4, pulmotor, hose and hose nozzles and carpentry work totaled over $1, It was an- nounced that $307 of this amount is available from this year's appropria- i tion. In the amount of $2,922, need- ed for repairs to buildings, about $1,- 500 is needed for changes at the | headquarters’ building on Commercial street, including a, new recreation room and sleeping quarters. The ad- ditional sleeping quarters are needed because of the additional men as- signed there. The recreation room will be used by both the police and i fire departments and a number of the new lockers would be installed there. Deck Pipe for $3,150. Chairman Babcock advocated ar- rangements for a deck pipe, showing that this apparatus is used by all cities, is very cffective and allows one man to direct three or four water lines through one nozzle. It was stated that such a piece of apparatus can be fitted up for $150 outlay, the members of the department doing the work. The department has two sup- ply wagons that could be used. After conferring with Chief Robert M. Dame, it was concluded that the wag- on now at No. 4 house is the better fitted for this. modern ISSUED.

Is it not well for us in this time of world conflict and national crisis to think and meditate upon the deep things of God All thinking men churchmen or not, righteousness, and faith and love are in the balance. The most vital laws of God and man have been trifled with not alone across the sea but in our own land. Men have been indif- ferent to the voice of God calling | | today, whether deavor for their fellows, thelr com- munity, and their country. Our prep- aration has been thort, not only in military ways, but in mind and heart. Ease and complaisance have charac- terized our day until we find our- selves unstable and confused and fear- ful. Sins which sap our social life of its vigor and purity are often con- doned or passed over as socially cor- rect. Custom rather than right has become master, and no law is so bind- ing as the customary law. Money has a strong voice in our day, and often talks louder than conscience.

Officials of Water Department Laugh at Rumors of Breaks, Current rumors regarding an at- tempt to undermine the pipe line be- tween this city, RBurlington and Shuttle Meadow, about eighteen miles in length, were promptly denied at the office of the water commissioners t There is absolutely no acc: sion for any such reports, it was stated. Another rumor to the effect that the pipe line in Walnut Hill park near the high pressure gate house had been mined was also denied and explained. About a month ago the water depart- ment made an excavation there and | a rain storm fallowed by a cold snap froze the earth so it was impossible to fill in the hole. The sight of this| pile of earth near the water line caused the rumors, it is said. PI ISE FOR GUARDIANS. C. of C. Directors Extend Thanks For Efficient Service.
