 There is considerable interest in the Westerly fire district special meeting, which is to decide whether the fire alarm system is to be extended to the newly annexed section, and fire pro lection equal to that in the old dis trict supplied. At the annual meet ing there was misunderstanding as to
 
 district and in consequence only one resident attended the meeting. AL though the annexation increased the revenue sufficient to permit of a re-. duction from twenty cents on each S100 of taxfble property to fifteen cents. the meeting voted against the extension of the fire alarm system. The board of water commissioners caused hydrants to be placed in its added section of the fire district, but it is urged that they are of little use there is no fire alarm system to summon the firemen and apparatus in the event of fire, without dangerous delay.
 The petition that resulted in the is- suence of a call for the meeting is numerously signed and included the and Smith Granite works, whose prop critics were partially destroyed by fire in the past two years.
