TWO FIRE ALARM BOXES, Addition to Be Recommended by Chief ‘Woodward. The installation of two more fire alarm hoxes will be recomm Chief A, P. Woodward in hi: report to the borough. This Is in ac- cordance with the plan adopted after the original installation of the system of adding to two or more new boxes| every year. This yearly “expense small, but _gradually makes the system more efficient, as the territory to be protected is better covered by the system. Chief Woodward’s report will show that Danielson has had another year of surprising freedom from losses by fire. ~ While the losses during the past twelve months have been great- er than during any year since the fire alarm was installed, they total cnly about $3,000. Few towns in Connecticut can claim such a record, which is undoubtedly in part made possible through the quick giving of alarms by the telegraph system en- abling the fire department to make prompt response and nip most fires before they really get started.

The _indications are that the Te- port of the state board of health for March will show that Killingly had one of the highest death rates -of any town in the state during that period. No fewer than ten, deaths occurred here during as many days this month. which is extraordinary in a communi- ty of this size. There was no epidemic Bowever, and the deafhs were due to a widely different variety of causes. Some of the deaths were of persons who had been ill for a long time, oth- ers of persons of advanced years, The fact that the deaths came in_groups was the circumstnce that made them collectively of more than ordinary in- terest, BOHEMIAN CLUB. ed Up Rooms Attractively and Comfortably.
