To the Hon. MAJOR, Etc..
The undersigned, citizens Of Portland, realizing
the Importance Of the fullest protection against
fire, and learning that considerable loss Of prop
erty has resulted from delay 10 giving alarms, be-
eaeI cause the i. rs alarm boxes were not accessible
action as will put said boxes In condition that
any person discovering fire may be able to give
the required alarm without delay. In our opinion
the locking Of these alarm boxes Is serious hind
rance TO the prompt announcement and subduing
OF fires, and should be immediately discontinued.
The following letter, which explains itself,
was read in connection with the petition
OFFICE OF
BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS, I
CITY HALL, BOSTON, Jan. IL, 1897
RnI. Alien, Jr., Chairman Committee Of Portland
Board Of Fire Underl0riters:
Dear Sir,-In reply TO yours of the 10th inst.
garding the advantages Of keyless doors to fire
alarm boxes, beg leave to say that this depart
ment placed some in operation about six years
ago as test and that they gave such general sat
isfaction that at present they have l3S.
Although fire alarm keys are freely distributed
In responsible hands, yet there are certain sec
tons OF the city after business hours and on Sun
days, almost depopulated, while in other sec
tons it is nconvenient TO locate keys In accessible
places. and 1t Is IN such locations that the lkeyless
doors prove an advantage.
We have had very few false alarms from these
boxes, and the fact that the opening Of the door
requires full revolution of the handle which
rings telltale gong which can be heard a block
away, prevents any tampering with them.
Yours respectfully,
K. w. SMITH, JR., Clerk.

was the discharge of several Of the train

The train men finally got on to the spotter
and the last trip he made was not so pleas

car with some beer and the train hands
knew 1t, so they side-tracked the car In an
out-of-the-way place, and by the time the
