Hart Dies in Hospital— Foresters to Obscrve Anniversary | —Gwillim Heads Shrine=-Briefs. Two small fires during the past | 24 hours resulted in only slight loss, | for the fire department was not needed at one and at the other it was able to tear out a burning par- tition and limit damage to approx- imately $25. The first call was a still alarm at 4:30 o'clock yesterday | afternoon, when the seat of an oil | truck owned by James Elliott of New Britain caught fire on the New Britain road. Fire Commissioner- | Driver James R. Boswell answered | the call alone but found no need for his services, as the truckman had | been able to put out himself. At 8:10 o'clock this morning an alarm of fire was sent in from 78 Kast Main street, flames having been discovered in a wall on the first story there. The house is owned by A. H. Richards of Hough street and is occupied by Thomas J. Angels, an employe of Wilber's restaurant. The firemen ripped out the partition and attacked the flames with chemicals, overcoming them without trouble in spite of a surprising quantity of | amoke which rose through the parti- | tion and seeped out through the roof. The fire is thought to have heen caused by a defective heating pipe. This pipe. located in the partition, was overheated and had a gap in it just where some clectric wires lald upon it. The pipe is believed to have set the woodwork afire directly or to have burned away the wire insula- tion and caused the exposed wires to start the fire. A slight delay in sounding the | alarm was caused by a temporary | defect in the alarm system. When the call came in to telephone head- quarters the operator found that the | larm would not sound automatical- | ly. Acting on instructions, she noti- | fied the Trumbull Electric Mfg. Co., and the whistles on that plant was sounded. By that time, however, Miss Zella Dyer, chiet operator, had hurried on duty and was blowing | the regular whistle by hand. The | two whistles led many people to be- | lieve that therc was a serlous fire in | progress. The defect in the alarm was rem- | edied immediately and the once again in perfect condition.

Funeral Services all that 18 required from the muni- ality. I'he belief held by offi 1s of both governments that a' year's notice was stipulated in the contract end- cd today when a copy of the con- tract came to light, with the express provision for 30 days notice one of its outstanding features. This disclosure makes the situa- tion more serious than has heen realized, raquiring immediate steps Dy the town officials looking to the establishment of a firc department if they are unsuccessful in changing the views ex ed by the chair- man of the New Britain fire board and believed to be shared by his colleagues on the commission. 1t is doubtful if the town could equip and organize a department in the short space of time set forth in the contract, Discussion with New Britain officials indicates disposition on their part to cooperate with the Berln_authorities and it is expected that an extension of tiae notice could be had on application. It Berlin is brought face to face with the necessity of fighting fires within its confines, it must accept one of two alternatives, one of these, far from promising, is a contract with the town of Meriden, next near- est municipality. The fire depart- ment of the Silver City has been se- verely criticized by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, both as to cquipment and - fire fighting strength, and in view of this condi- tion, it is hardly likely that the common council would sanction tak- ing fire apparatus outside the city himits on a contract basis, although emergeney fires would be fought without question. The other is the creating of a fire tment. 'his would require a of the selecimen, followed n meeting at which a spe- cial appropriation would be required o purchase and equip apparatus and 1o provide housing for it, and salar- ch of the department mem- re to be on the payroll. This would necessitate an outlay of at least §10,000, it is believed. Time would then be required for the selec- Board of Relief Notice!

Health Conditions Good According to Miss Mary Griswold, superintendent of chools, the health condition of the pupils in the local schools is better now than it has been for some time and the epidemic of measles which was prevalent for 1wo months has decreased. Miss Griswold termed the present situation as “fairly good,” and com- mented favorably upon the work done by the health department in ridding the town of disease. She also paid compliments to the parents for having exercised their power in prevention and care of the children during the height of the epidemic. There are no other communicable dizeases in the schools, she said, but numerous colds keep many pupils ocut of school daily. Last week more than 50 permits were given out by the health department for the re- turn of children to school and many more are expected to be issued this week. Whist Club Meetings The Wednesday Night Whist club will meet tomorrow evening at the home of Mrs. Howard Bunce. Prizes will be awarded the winners and re- freshments served.
