THE FIRE REcoMMENDATIo Speculation as to What Action Com
 mon Council will Take at it's Next Meetinq.<

There is some speculation as to what action, if any. will be taken by the court of common council at it's next meeting on the recommendations re- garding the fire department changes made by the fire prevention committee of the National Board of Fire Under writers. The recommendations as has been already announced are the result of an investigation conducted n this city by the fire prevention committee of the National Board. It is a matter of interest to the people of Norwich in general that a peruSal of the annual reports of Fire Chief Howard L. Stan ton for the past fifteen years show that practically every recommendation made by the fire prevention committee of the National Board has been made to the common council by the chief at some time other during this period. According to the engineers who con ducted the investigation here last June Norwich is in immediate need of better equipped fire department for it's own protection against conf1a- grations which come when least ex- pected. leaving behind a trail of death and destruction Atlanta. Ga, the latest victim, can well testify.
