HIGHER GRADE OF PAPER
 AT MoNTvILLE MILL Will Use Wood Pulp in Its Manufac- ture-No Change of Ownership.

Owing to the circulation of runor that change of ownership was about to be made in the Thames River Spe- ciaIties company. Horatio Bigelow, of the company. was interviewed at the big paper mill Wednesday afternoon, says a Montville correspondent. MT. Bigelow stated that the report of any change was news to him and that there was no foundation for the ru- nor. The mill was running steadily along for the present on the same class of material it had produced since commencement The company, how ever, did propose to manufacture a higher grade of paper. into which the wood pulp material would enter to a great extent, and experimental pieces had been turned out as samples. The unloading of a schooner cargo of wood pulp may have given rise to the ru- nor, as a we'll known capitalist in this neighborhood is known to be in terested in forest sections which pro- duce the pulp.
 Preparations are being made at tile mill for the installation of the subsi- diary company which will use a part of the present product for the manufac- ture of cortons, mailing tubes and sim liar containers, but the machinery has not been received at the mill

cef Stanton s.ys Nishz ws.shn.n t Alzushouss n counfy Home is onIy susssstion Schools well Cared For

Tn respOnse to an invitation from the Norwich branch of the sociaaisl party. Chief Howard L. Stanton of the Norwich fire department address ed them at their regular meeting on Thursdny evening in the Stead building The meeting was well at tended and Chief Stantpnss audience was closely attentive to his description of fire conditions on some of the local situations.
 Edward Perkins Clarke was chair man and introduced Chief Stanton after 1t had been voted to dispense temporarily with the regular bnsinesz 50 that they might give time to tho talk.
 As it had been indicated to the chief
 that he would be expected to zpeak about fire conditions at the alMshcuse, he took this up first and stated that there were no iron fire escapes at the almshouse, but he was of the opinion that If there were fifty fire escapes there 1t would yet be doubtful if all the old people could be saved. This war becaus of their helpless and decrepit condition, many being unable to help themselves any, but things were ar- ranged as well as could be since ths old people and the women are all on the first floor and all they have to dc to escape is to step outdoors, where wooden platform on the outside o1 the building constitutes the lire es- cape. The inmates all known about this way of escape as they constantly use it as q porch He said he was an advocate of fire escapes, both for the sake of the people fin the building and the aid they were to the fremen iI getting up the hose and at the fire. The
 building has other favorable features in that 1t has wide halls, more thar one stairway leading from the first te the second floor, electric lights in the corridors alf nig11ta private fire alarm box and three lengths of hose ready te be coupled to a hydrant in the yard It would be q, very short run from the Sherman street station, and the com pany would be there in a very khDri time in comparison to that required al the tinl9 Of the fire ofv1S76, when II people lost their lives. The Falls com panv would arrive quickly with theil small ladders, but it would take the heavy truck from the city longer However, the almsflouse was well sup- piled with ladders. many having beer p1ace6 ther& at his suggestion. Chiei Stanton said that he makes periodical inspection there and the sugfestioni he makes have been cheerfully com piled with. but there is nothing in th< city ordinances which gays anything about fire escapes. He. said that th< oniyzNHay to five ll1e a1mshouse in. mates the fullest protection was te have a paid watehrnan or patroIman oI duty in the building all night.
Norwich bulletin., 1911-04-28

The cfief devoted sorne time to co1n-
 mont on the fire laws, indicating how a property owner could dodfe the hre escape requirement. In the state law if he could show that his b1i1dfnx had plenty of inside atairways Hc also showed how different duties and res responsibilities were split up between f11e factory inspector, the fire marshal and the state police.
 Speaking of the New London county home, he said that there was chance for trouble, and if it ever came there would be a lot of 1t. but he did not consider the county Commissioners to blame. It was all right in the day. time, but at night was the danger: There were 30 to 100 children, with The building Is two -story frame, and the county commissioners have done everything asked for, even to ta.sins out one side of the building so that { wooden stairway might be put UP to which fhe childen could rush directly from the dormitory- But he thought proof building for the county home It's distance from any station of the paid department was bad feature and for tllis place also he made the suggestion of an all night watchman as the safeguard.
 Buiidinss We'll Provided.
 Chief Stanton also spoke worc about the aerial ladder truck, whicE he said was too short by ten feet, and was bought before he came into office Its ladder length was 65 feet and should be 75 feet, for it would nod reach to the top Of the WauresaI house now. But ever since two people had been saved by the aerial truck ir the Shannon building fire who woule certainly have perished without 1t tilere had not been so much criticism of this piece of apparatus.
 Regarding the school buildings, ht said he considered there was little tt fear of loss of life in any of those if the town and that all had their doori opening outward with the exception 0. one or two on the outskirts where there were excusa5b1e conditions. He concluded by ss ying that no cits was harder to do fire dutys in be cause of it's many hills, but he be. lieved we have no reason to be asham. ed of what we have in the fire depart- ment and the city is well protected with the small department it has H, made the suggestion that some build. ing code ought to be adopted. such a, would be approved by the nationa board and he left with the socialist considerable literature upon the loca situation.
 His talk was applauded and he an. swered a number of questions on va. rious points which arose in the coErst of his remarks.
