About 6:30 p. m. a telephone call was received informing the central station that the railroad statig in Terryville was on tire. The informa- tion was relayed to the Terryville department and the fire company of that town rcsponded only to find that the alarm was false. A short time later the central fire station re- ceived a second call purporting to come from the oifice of Cosmo Vacea on Terryville Koad to the ef- fect that his storehouses were on fire. The local company responded only to be told by Mr. Vacca on ur- rival that there was no tire and he kncw of none in the vicinity. Upon the peturn to the station the call was traced and the information pussed to Kirst Selectman William | Police Examinations The examinations of applicants tor uppointnent to the supernumer- ary force of the local police depart- ment will be held either the latter part of this weck or early next week according to an announcement made this morning by Mayor W. Raymond Crumb. These examinations were drawn up by Mayor Crumb and members of the police committee and were completed Baturday. Eight applicants will be brought in at the first call, these having been selccted from a group of 30 ex- amined at the last meeting of the beard of police commissioners. The six_having the best standing in the written and physical examinations will be appointed to the supernum- erary force at once. In the event it | s impossible to aelcct six from the | group, a sccond examination will te held a little later for others who have applications on file. Forestville Automatic Signal Work on the new electro-matic gnal for the center of Forestville will be started today. In discussing the matter this morning. Mayor W. Raymond Crumb stated that he had reccived the assurance of the New Haven Automatic Signal company, manufacturers of the device, that engineers would arrive this morning and arrange the layout. The new arrangement is similar to the signal which was demonstrated in miniature at the last meeting of the police commissioners. Tt is con- trolled entirely by eclectricity from contacts registered in a signal box when automobiles pass over a strip | laid in the highway. When the installation of the new signal is completed, the officer now on duty will be relieved. according to Mayor Crumb, who pointed out that a material saving would be affected for the taxpayers in the Forestville or second taxing district. It fs the | present plan to have a motorcycle officer make a tour of Forestville two or three times a day. a propor- tion of his expense to be charged to the second taxing district. In the event the signal works out to advantage, it is the belief that stmilar signals will. be installed throughont the city Employes Outing Nine hundred and fifty employes the state of Connecticut enjoyed an outing at Compeunce Sunday after- noon.

Shortly before 1 p. m., the parade headed by President Dewitt Page of the New Departure and Marshal Arthur A. Kreft proceeded up North Main street to North street, then countermarched on North Main to Main street, down Main strect to School street ‘and over School and Park streets . to Muzzy ficld. The line of march was three miles long and consumed 40 minutes in passing. Many unique costumes were in evidence, each plant striving for the prizes. An unusual feature present- ed by the local plant was a group of young ladies wearing the various siyles from the days of the cave- dwellers to 1930. Near the head of the parade was an automobile made up as a speed boat and decorated with 2,000 gladiolus spikes. Eight bands participated, two of which were clown orgunizations which us- «d everything from a tin pail to a picce of lead pipe. Thousands lined the streets along ‘he line of march and to eliminate congestion, all traffic on North Main street between Main and Race ctreets was discontinued during the fime of the parade. The local police under the superviston of Chief Er- nest T. Belden, handled the arrange- ments admirably and it was only a short time after the last marcher. had passed that the traffic was oper- ting again as usual.
