The Fire Board Discussed Several Inn
pOrtant ChanGs Last Night.
The board of fire commissioners held
their regular monthly meeting last even
ing. Several important matters were
adopted. ~.
Chief Snagg recommended that
three horse Glitch" be placed on the
ariel truck. The chief explained that
the truck was too heavy for two horses
and the department had an extra horse
and room for another stall. The change
and McAuliffe were appointed in con-
junction with the chief to act in the
matter. - .-.
T. R. Polglase representing the NUM-
cipal Fire and Police Telegraph COM
pany of Newton Highlands, Mass, ap-
peared before the board and made an
offer regarding changing the present
fire alarm repeater and placing of new
boxes. His company, he said, for 1915
would take the citys present repeater
and put in a new fire circuit repeater
and put in new switch-boards,. etc.
They would put in boxes at SIS each.
Mr. Polglase said that his system was
the equal of the Gamewell system. A
representative of the Gamewell system
appeared before the board a short time
ago and also made the board an offer.
They wanted $500 to- put in the new
repeater, take the old one and $125 each
for new boxes. Mr. Polglase invited
the board to go to the company's fac
tory and see the working of the system.
A motion was made to appoint Chief
Snagg and one or two commissioners to
act as a committee to visit the works of
the company. Chief Snagg SAID he
wished to be excused as he was welded
to the Gamewell system and did not
think there was any boxes but theirs.
The motion was passed that the COM
pany visit the factory.
