Borough Votes $1,oe4 for Loper Fire Alarm System-Amos G. Park Held for TriaI-Wife Furnishes Bond.

That the voters of the borough be- lieve in the policy of encouraging home industries was demonstrated by the action taken in the special bor- ough meeting, when an improved sys- tenn of fire alarm was under conSid- eration. The Loper system. which has been in use in the borough for sew eral years, and the first to be installed by MT. Ioper, the originator of the system, and which since then has been so much improved that but very lit tie of the original plan remains, was the one adopted. By this action the value of the improved system is rec ognized and the inventor, resident of the borough, receives the endorsement of his home people. Warden Cornelius B. Crandall presided at the meeting and Charles B. States was the clerk. On motion of pr. James H. Weeks, the plans and specifications of the fire alarm system, approved by the officers of the fire department, was accepted, , The sum of $1, 1,064.44 was appropriated for thA installation and care of the system for three years. Then the subject matter was given over to committee composed of Assistant Chief Engineer Charles B. Main, Dr. James H. Weeks and Erastus D. Chesebro. Eight new positive non interference firm alarm boxes will be installed and the present whistle and motive power will be retained. The wire used will be No. l2 triple braided and galvan- iZed. The current will be provided by a 32-celI battery and guaranteed for five years.
 State Has No Funds to Continue the
 Highway.
 The newly built cement highway from the east border of the borough to a point not far from the railroad station in Mystic, and all in the town 0f io Fl now there Is a plan started to have this modernly constructed highway continued on to the bridge over the Mystic river. which is the dividing line of the towns of Stonington and Groton. This extension can be made at cost of $6.000, but the state highway com missioner has no funds available for ihat purpose.
