There Is a movement on foot to call az
other special meeting OF the taxpayers q
the Valley Falls Fire District to see II they
will appropriate sufficient money to cover
the nece ,sary expense of introducing ar
equip )ing a fire alarm service. II looks o
many ofthe taxpayers that the last meet

committee in rather shabby mannsr,
considering the amount of trouble the v
underwent. The committee spent COZ =
siderable time in investigating the diffe :
ent systems, and was rather ungratefl
tr ,atment on the part of the meeting to
adjourn without taking final action.

daughters. Patrolman Oliver Sylvestrc,
one of the members of the Central Falls
police force, is one OF the sons. The others
arc all wen known in the city.
