le'l', No. 2 nm per ton BOULETS $13.25 per ton Shetucket Coal Lumber Company Telephone 1257 RECOMMENDS OLOSING OF GREENEVILLE FIRE STATION Recommendation that the Greeneville fire station be closed is containéd in the annual report of Chiet Howard L. Stan- fon, which was submitted to the July mesting of the common couneil. Chief Stanton’s recommendations fol- low: “The closing of the double station in the Greeneville section of the city, houw- ing the volunteer companies, Engine 2 &hd Truck 2, is earnestly racommended. The apparatus located at this station is horse-drawn and there are no horses to draw the same. THe past few years it has been impossible to procure trom outside sources with the result that there has beer no response, even if there were interest enough displayed by the membership. This is an important dis- trict and all fire service rendered is from tentral district companies responding. “The residents of the Falls sestion of the city feel that thers should be a sta- don to house Engine No. 3 which is as- signed to that distriet but housed at Central station. Tt is considered by a rge majority in this residential distrlet | brary. that the Central~ station is too far yway when the values are considered. I tecommend that this matter be sonsidération as soon as possible.” The department answered 180 alarms In the past year, which was 13 more than the year before, and elght of them were outside the city limits. The largest loss was at the fire in the Hertz build- Ing on Thames street, which was on-the aght of March 21.

The firemen’s pension fund is now $9,- 186.32, having received the following ad- fitions in the year: Two per cent. on pay roll, $1,165.23; Interest $322.72, and fonations, $133.20.
