The big blacksmith snop uf the Smith Granite works was totally de- , stroyed by fire. with all it's contents, including fourteen forges. early Fri day mornlr The fire was discovered by Chief x sineer Samuel G. sCottren, who res !Ses n the Smith homestead on
 Quarry hIll. and not far from the burn ed building. Chief CottreH was awak- eRed- by the strong smell of smoke in his home and made hurried fnvesti-
 gation, but found no indication of fire i except the smoke odor. On looking out of the window he saw that the roof of the blacksmith shop was ablaze and telephoned to the Westerly
 Automatic telephone exchange to send
 in the alarm, but there was no sat-
 1Sfactory response.
 He dressed hurriedly and ran to the
 nearest fire alarm box. at the corner
 of School and George streets and sent
 in the alarm thirty-seven. the iremen responding with their usual prompt
 ness. By this time the building was
 mass of flames, but the work of the sfiremen kept the fire within that build ing. The blacksmith shed was a one story structure, about two hundred feet
 in length, built thirty-five years ago and was insured. The loss with con- tents is estimated at ss,000.
 The Smith Granite works is located in the territory added within year to the Westerly fire district. but which is not yet supplied with fire protection equal to some other sections of the district. Seven hundred feet of hose were required to stretch in from the nearest hydrant to the burning build ing, which is located quite a distance from the highway, but the water pres sure was ample to cope with the blaze
 While the fire service was all that could be expected under existing con- ditiOns it is evident that more fire alarm boxes and a change in the alarm system is needed to give the enlarged fire district proper protestion. At the annual meeting of the fire district, Chief Cottren and the board of engi- neers recommended the placing of fire alarm boxes in the annexed district and remodeling the fire alarm system in order to meet the requirements of the whole district, and to give the property holders in the added district fire protection equal to that given tax payers in the old district. Plans were submitted and ain estimate of the cost given, but the whole matter was turh- ed down. Under miSapprehension that those in the annexed district had no right to participate in the doings of that annual meeting. there was but one resident of the new section of tfe fire district present, and his efforts to better the fire conditions were una vailing.
 The increase in revenue by reason of the enlargement of the fire district made it possible to reduce the taxation each S100 of taxable property, which was done, but the additional fire alarm boxes and changes in alarm system were denied At the time there was talk of a demand for special meetirg to rescind the vote that denied exten- sion of the system to the annexed dis trict. but the matter ended in talk
