ALARM SYSTEM IN BRIDGEPORT NOT
 IN GOOD CONDITION
Fire Insurance Underwriter Finds Great Hazards in
 His Inspection.

Should 8 bolt of lightning strike
 any part of the fire alarm telegraph
 system at present in use here, it would
 put the entire system out of busf-
 ness for some time and it is a possi-.
 bility that a great conf1agration
 would follow before the fire depart
 meat could be rS5lied. Such is one of
 the fire risks pointed out in the re-
 port of the eommittee of the Ma uenal Board Of Fire Underwriters has just made regarding the fire risks in Bridgeport
 Engineer J. H. Rowland of the board visited Bridgeport on June II and 12. The report consists of 8. rec ord of the conditions he found and the recommendations he offers. He found:
 tions. poorly enforced and inadequate building laws, fire limits of insuffi- cient extent, hazardous conditions as
 regards explosives, inflammabIes and
 electric wiring features
 The report says thai improvements
 have been made in the water supply and the pressure has been increased but it also calls the attention to the
 need of more fire hydrants in the residential sections of the city. In creaafng the number of men in the crew of Chemical Go. No. 1. the p1r- chase of anfomok5iIe combination ladder truck to provide satisfactory
 service for the North End and the erection Of 8, pompier tower with a.
 regularly established drill school are the principal improvements recorn- menAed for early Consideration. The report further recommends the early establishment Of a manually operated fire alarm in a fire proof Headquarters and the adoption and en- forcenaent of an up-to-date code of
 building laws with provisions for ex-
 tending the fire limits and the eff
 cdent supervision and control Of cleo trtc wiring installations
 The report is signed by the fire pre- vention committee. George W. Hoyt, chairman; Edw.
 MIIigan. F. ". Sergeant J. A KeI-
 sey, J. B. Merton. GA. LHdIum, B.
 T. Campbsl. R. D. Harvey, E. ". West, H. A Smith, Lyman Candee;
 ", B. Mallalieu, general manager;
 George ". Booth, chief engineer.
 In its reauestion to the board of ap-
 portionment the fire board in Janu- ary asked if $6o,OO0 to provide the manualiy operated fire alarm system which the national board thinks should
 be established. The tax board turn ed down the request @ It also turned
 down the reequest for eight additional firemen for the department Recent ly the fire commissioners made an at tempt to have the council vote on a bond issue to provide the funds but this too was reported unfaworably by
 some members of the council and no effort was made to carry it further.
