representative of the Gamewell EIec-
trical Company of Boston, was in town
today making arrangements for the
new fire alarm system which is to be
put in.

at 10 o'clock in Judge Curtis office, at
which the selectmen of the town and
nre engineers were present. The Sc
1ectmen were in favor of having 20
boxes placed up, while Mr.. Decrow
thought that 16 would be plenty. M.
Z. King thought that Is boxes would
be plenty, and told where he thought
they would best answer the purpose.
Mr.. King would like to see boxes
placed at the corner of May and Main
streets, Greene's underwear factory,

School streets, one at the Sugden block,
one in front of Fontaine'S block, COR

streets, one at Upper Wire village, one
at Lower Wire village, one in front of
Buffers house, on Pleasant street, one
at the corner Of Main and Pleasant
streets, and one at the mills.
South Spencer and Hillsville were
left out Of the schedule. The former
was left out, as Mr.. King did not think
that the valuation of the place would
pay for the cost of the extra expense.
In case Of fire, he said that the people
could telegraph to Spencer, and the
message would reach here about as
soon as the fire alarm would.
In regard to Hillsville, Mr.. King
thought that the box in front Of But
ler's residence is near enough TO the
place.
The selectmen and fire engineers
thought that Mr.. Kings plans were
as good as they heard, and so Mr.
Decrow and Mr.. King started out this
forenoon to see the locations. The
price was talked over and the Came
well representative will hand in his
proposition as soon as possible. 1t isl
expected that it will be in by toner
row.
