RINGS SCHOOL BOX FOR SLIGHT BLAZE Boy Tosses Lighted Match Near Can of Gasoline An alarm from Box 326 at the Bartlett school, corner of Broad and Grove streets at 1:06 this afjernoon brought several companies of fire- men, who found that the cause of the call was a slight fire in an auto- mobile truck owned by Albert Halm of 146 Winter street. The truck had run out of gasoline and the driver had brought some in a can, accord- ing to information obtained by the firemen, when a boy tossed a lighted match near the truck and the fumes of the fuel ignited. Other boys hur- ried to the achool, which is nearby, and sounded the alarm. As a result of the ringing of the school box, Chiet Noble gave orders to the electrical department to move it to the inside of the bullding. Sev- eral times within the past year, alarms have come in from school boxes for fires in the vicinity of the schools, with the result that more apparatus than was needed respond- SEEK $1,000 INCREASE Corporation Counsel Kirkham and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Greenstein File Petitions.
