LONG DELAY ENDS; BIDS
ASKED FOR FIRE BOXES
Open Specifications Approved by
Council, and City Clerk Ordered
to Get Proposals

The council yesterday authorized the
city clerk to advertise for fire alarm
boxes under open specifications adopted
by the council nearly a year ago. These
specifications give opportunity for all
makers of fire alarm and police signal
boxes to compete. Bids are to be
opened August II.
No fire alarm boxes have been pur-
chased for more than two years be-
cause the council has refused to pur-
chase any more Gamewell apparatus,
which is the system now used in Los
Angeles. until it could investigate the
prices charged by this company. This
matter has been in the hands Of a spe-
cial committee of the council for two
years and this committee has made
only a partial report. This partial re-
port was the recommendation for the
adoption of specifications which were
approved by the council.
These specifications were sent to the
old fire commission for their approval.
The commission refused to approve
them because they wanted only Came
well boxes. They found on writing to a
number of cities that Gamewell sys-
TENS were practically in universal use
and proved more satisfactory than any
other kind. The commission report was
returned to the council and was fol-
lowed by another long and tedious de-
lay.

Family Believed That Fire Was Out
After Fourth Celebration, but
Smoldering Embers Burst
into Blaze
(By Associated Press.)

HEALDSBURG, Cal, July Gas a
result of their Fourth of July celebra-
ton, Harry and julius Buchignani.
aged 16 and II respectively, were
burned to death when their home was
destroyed by fire last night, and their
brother George, aged IA, was fatally in
jured while trying to rescue them.
The father of the three boys is a
prominent business man of this town
and celebrated the Fourth at home last
night with his wife and five children.
Some of the fireworks, it is said, set fire
to the roof of their house. but the
blaze was supposedly extinguished. 1t
is believed some sparks smoldered for
q time and broke out again after the
family had retired
According to Mrs. Buchignani, she
was awakened by the glare and crack
ling of flames. and with a scream has
tily picked up the two smaller children
and ran out of the house.
Harry, the Oldest boy, also ran out,
but, missing his younger brothers,
dashed back to rescue them. AS he
picked up julius the roof fell in.
George. who had also turned back to
help his brothers, saw the danger in
time and fought his way through the
flames, but was so seriously burned
that little hope of his recovery is en-
tertained
The position in which the charred re-
mains were found today indicated that
the older boy was carrying the other
when the roof fell in on them.

COUNCIL TO FORBID
GIANT FlRECRACKERS
CITY ATTORNEY INSTRUCTED
TO FRAME ORDINANCE
Municipal Lawmakers Unanimous In
Opposition to High Power Ex-
pIoslves Being Used on
Fourth of July

The city council made an important
step toward a sane Fourth when it
instructed the city attorney to prepare
an ordinance prohibiting the sale OF
high explosive firecrackers. This ac-
ton was taken on motion of Council
man Healy, who declared he was at the
police station yesterday when several
small boys were taken to the receiving
hospital for treatment of lacerated
hands and other wounds caused by
large firecrackers.
He also cited the long list Of casual
ties and injuries caused by the use or
explosives on Fourth of July. Appar-
entity the council was ripe for such a
suggestion, for the six members. present
promptly coincided with Healy's views
and ali joined in ordering the city at
torney to prepare the ordinance.
The councilmen expressed regret that
such law had not been in force be-
fore Monday, when the largest number
of accidents from fireworks occurred.
An effort was made about a year ago
to pass such an ordinance, but when
it came before the council number OF
business men who appeared to care
more for a few additional dollars than
they did for the lives and fingers of the
rising generation, made a strong protest
and the ordinance was not passed. But
in the present frame of mind of members
of the council, no protest that merely
represents the profit or loss of few dol
lars will bear weight against the long
list of accidents due to high explosives,
used indiscriminately by children of
every age.
