TO RING THE FIRE-BELL
Manchester Bureau Times Dispatch,

No. 1902 Hull Street.
Three municipal bodies will assemble
II. the Council chamber this week. On
Monday the Police Commissioners VIII
meet. when i plan of patrolling the city
will be promulgated. Up to June lst IL
was the duty Of the police to ring the
fire bell whenever an alarm was turned
in. 1t was found, however. that the
time of policeman could be better given
to the city by patrol work rather than
waiting about the station for lire
alarm to come in. At the last meelng
Of the board the rule was changed. ana
now It devolves upon the fire depart
ment TO furnish a man to ring the bell.
On Tuesday night the Almshouse Com
mittee will meet In regular session Tor
routine work. Nothing special is ex-
pected to develop.
The most important meeting OF the
week will be that of the Finance Com
! nlittee, which will be on Friday night.
At that time the proposition TO appro-
pirate s1,4no for new house for the
SUPERINTENDENT OF Maury Cemetery VIII
be disposed Of. 1t is thought that the
augmentation will be made, MS the pres
ent house is a sight" The recent storms
have tended to further injure the OLD
structure, and Council Is fully satisfied
that a new building is absolutely needed'
