Councilman Springfield of the com
mittee on fire department of the City
council will, at the next meeting "
the council, introduce the following
order:
In Common Council:
Ordered, That the ordinances of the
city of Waterville be amended by the
adoption of the following, to wit: Amy
person or persons who shall ring false
alarm of fire at the hour of 12.45 A. NJ
or at any other hour of the day or night
for that matter and by SO doing cause
the members of the fire department

wise respond to such alarms, shall.
upon conviction, be fined $4,327.2S, be
imprisoned for term of months no;
to exceed 1000, and be compelled TO
council may select. ~ae
This applies to the hobo or other
miscrearrt that pulled in the alarm
from box So, Monday night. This false
alarm business is getting to be dan
gerous. 1t made it necessary for City
Electrician Landry to remain up for
the greater part of the night in wind
ing up the strikers of the signal system
and member of the Hook and Ladder
Company came very near being killed
in responding to the alarm.

Condition Of Melvin Young.

At noon, Tuesday, the condition of
Melvin Young of Clinton, who was so
seriously injured by being thrown out
of his carriage on College street, Mon

before. The patients pulse had stayed
at about 81 since the accident occurred
and there was little or no hope for the
recovery of the injured man at noon

DR.. Abbott, says that the right eye
will never go entirely back into place

Abbott. who is well acquainted with
Mr.. Young, had the patient removed to
the doctors home at once after the ac-

partial consciousness and would an

into the comatose state in which he has
been since he was injured.

it may be well to say that the report

AL Mace and he and his motorman.

Mr.. Young at the car barn in Fair
