been able to find out concerning the
matter of obtaining an up-to-date fire
alarm system for the borough. Coun-
Gilman Henderson brought before the
council a new electric motor fire
alarm system known as the Denver
Siren, manufactured by the Wood
house Manufacturing Company, of
New York city. The fire alarm con-
slsts or two parts. a strator and rotor,
which are operated by large electric
motor. 1t is claimed by the Wood
house Company that the siren can be
heard for distance of five miles. The
idea as worked out by Councilman
Henderson calls for the Denver Siren
to be placed in the center of the town
and then the borough divided off into
districts, having fire alarm boxes In
each district which, when the switch
Is pulled, will cause the number of
the district to be pealed forth on the
