Several citizens have recommended the fire signal system which, in their estifmation, would tend toward greatér efiiciency on the part i of the Plainville Hose company. These changes, if adopted, it is thought, | would reduce materially the delay and confusion which prevails in nearly every instance when the fire depart- ment is called into action. It has been suggested that the signal to call the military men to arms be changed to one long blast of the whistle at the Bristol Mfg. Co. At bresent seven toots of the whistle now apprise members of the Home Guard to mobilize at the town hall. One blast of the whistle now signifies that ;he Bristol Mfg. Co.’s building is on re. It has been explained that one short blast on the whistle followed by others at specified intervals could be used as a signal for a fire at the manu- facturing plant while the long blast could call the Home Guard out. The signals which are now in vogue to call out the hose company could re- main as they are. Owing to the numerous requests of residents it has been deemed advis- able to print a list of the fire districts with the signals for each district. They follow: Two blasts of whistle—East street, Farmington avenue, Place, New Britain avenue, Square. Three blasts—Bohemia street, For- estville avenue, Strong court, Wash- ington and N. Washington, West Main street. Four blasts—Bicycle street, Crown street,, Elbow Lane, Hough street, Maple street. Five blasts—Broad street (West side,) Canal street, Church street, Pearl street, Pierce street, Redstone Hill, Southington Road, Welsh street. Six blasts—Broad street, (East side) East street, Hamlin street, Park street, Tomlinson avenue, Whiting street. Several weeks ago the Home Guard was called out by seven blasts of the whistle. Owing to the irregularity of the toots the firemen also responded to the call. This illustration, several residents state, shows the need of a different system and one which will eliminate all confusion and un- necessary delay. It has also been suggested that the military unit use some other means of notification than the whistle at the Bristol Mfg. Co. Officials of the Plainville Hose com- pany could not be communicated with this morning so their attitude anent ! the installation of a new system or the re-organizing of the old one is not known. They, however, probably rea- lize the utmost importance of having adequate signal facilities and the part the signal system plays in proper fire protection in the town. Should Cover Manholes. At least two manholes on West Main street have for the past several weeks been left uncovered or partially uncovered. One of the manholes is situated near the grocery store of Fris- bie & Hemingway and the other is al- most directly in front of the Episcopal church. TFor the protection/ of the public a stigk of wood has been placed across the manholes which does not entirely cover the opening. Comment has been voiced because of these lamentable conditions and it is said that they should be entirely covered to provide protection for pe- destrians, automobilists and horse Main Norton R.

Under prevailing conditions a horse being driven up West Main street and close to the curbing would in all prob- ability step into one cf the manholes. | Fatal injuries to the horse, driver or allevi- | occupan‘s of the vehicle would per- her ‘parents, Postmaster and Mrs. A.

There "is a possibility that the wheels of a small automobile being driven up West Maln street on the right side of the street might en- ter one of the openings. i . Where the covers which belong on the manholes are is a riddle yet un- solved. It is thought that they were broken by the heavy trucks which help form the traffic on the street. Whether the seleotmen have taken steps to provide new covers for the manholes is not known but it seems to be the consensus that the openings should be properly covered. And Still No Sugar. Despite the fact that local store- keepers are patlently awaiting con- signments of sugar a scarcity of this commodity still prevails. One of the storekeepers yesterday received a 100 pound allotment which lasted but a short time. To Do Their “Bit.” John B.
