The selectmen held an adjourned meet
ing Saturday to consider the petition of
several residents living on the outskirts of
the fire district. These residents claimed
that owing TO their location they were
not getting good protection, and asked to
be set out OF the district. The selectmen
had held a previous hearing last winter
and, having heard the parties on both
sides, thought they would like to see for
themselves the actual working OF the fire
protection system, especially on the COM
mon and near the residence of DR.. o. ID.
Greene, and accordingly Monday evening
Chief Engineer A. Lee Cady gave an exhi-
bition OF the capacity of the system in
both these locations. A heavy stream of
water was thrown thirty feet over the
dwelling of DR.. Greene, and on the COM
mon a strong stream was put into the
upper tower of the Universalist church.
