 There are nineteen fire alarm boxes that will be connected with the new whistle. Some of these are what are called private boxes. although the most of them are placed outside of factories for public use and like the others come under the charge of Chief Fuller. who also has charge of the batteries, which require good deal os st tention in the way of cleaning and filling For this work We notice other towns are paying from $l0O to S200 per annum. and probably the smaller figure will prevail ! here. It is hardly to be expected that a competent person could be got for less The board of burgesses will meet to-night and may appoint board of fire commis- sioners and some other officials.

The old town board of health paid $50 for plans for building to cost $S, ,5UO | The hospital ward was not suited for the purpose but could have been easily made so.
