r. B. Freely, who has the contract
for putting in a fire alarm system

and also one box at the Bailey mill,
put in by the mill company. The
delay in putting in the system has
been occasioned by the inability of
Mr.. Freely to get the boxes, the fac
tory being so pressed with orders
that they could not furnish them
