Fire Alarm Boxes Promised.
A letter was read last evening which
indicated that the authorities would es-
tablish additional fire alarm boxes in the

for their purchase. The association had
previously called attention to several
locations where these turn-in boxes were
deemed desirable.
A communication was read from the
Tax Reform Association Of tho Distric,

ton. and President Jackson named a spe.
