Many have read with interest the
circular issued by the Southern New
England Telephone company in the
new directories, setting forth their
idea of most effectively cooperating
with their patrons in case OF fire calls
by telephone. The opening clause
says that in order to secure all posi-
BILE accuracy and despatch in reporting
fires BY telephone, each subscriber is
earnestly requested to faniliarize him
self with the telephone number that
should properly be called in case Of
fire instead of depending solely upon
q. call for the fire department. With
this idea in mind, Supt. Frost of the
local exchange has had notice on
the switchboard informing his operat
ors in case OF fire information reach
ing them over the wire. to first call
1872, the fire engine nose. If no an
swer is received then call 2e5.the res
idence of E. III. HiScox. where the fire
mems key to the Baptist church is
kept, that the bell may be rung in case
of fire. II meeting with no response
here they are instructed to cali s6-4,
the residence of B. r. Gardner, janitor
OF the church, whence the bell could
be reached with the least possible de-
lay.
