CAN'T GET ALARM BOXES.
Present Type No Longer Made and
 New Style Would Cost More.

It is probable that Danielson will have to get along for a time at least without the four additional fire alarm boxes voted installed at the annual borough. meeting this month and $500 appropriated to meet the cost of them The appropriation was based on a but Chief A. P. Woodward of the fire department just received a letter from the company manufacturing the boxes in which he is informed that the style of boxes in use in Danielson-the best there was up to two or three years ago has been discontinued and the one now being offered in the place of it. much improved type-is selling for l $100 each.
 | It is held by some of the borough | officials that inasmuch as the appro- 1 priation vote specifies four boxes to l be installed at a cost not to exceed | $500 that that number must be in- stalled within that limit of cost or 1 the matter left over until it can be
 taken up at a special borough meet | ing, which may have to be called ir | the near future. It is held that the
 vote would not permit of installing three of the boxes at $500, if followine
 strictly, though there is no reason tC believe that such course if followed | would have ether than the approval O
 the majority of the citizens. Tn,
 borough officials, however, are not in clined to trif1e with the specified di
 ractions of the voters, so it seem
 probable that the boxes will not b. inStalcled right away.
