Platt, electrician for the fire department, and the work of connecting these. boxes will be started immediately after the police boxes are connected up. There were six police boxes in working or der today These six are the new ones with new locations Tomorrow Electrician Ladd will start to cut over on the boxes in the old locations. The new locations are: Corner of GiI- bert and Main streets; Water street and Fairfield avenue; Broad and State streets; Wall and Main; Wall and Water Fairfield avenue and Main street, and Congress and Main.
