PLANS FORMING
 FIRE PROTECTION
Townsite Manager Confers With Engineer In Charge Regarding
 Fire Protection.

That the measures for the proper protection of town property from fire will soon be put into efefct, and the system in force now will be made more efficient is indicated in a conference held recently between Frederick D. Brown, engineer in charge of the Fairbanks division of the Alaskan Engineering commission and Townsite Manager H. B. Joseph.
 It was felt that the sounding of the power plant whistle in case of fire and the ringing of the fire bell in the townsite building was not sufficient and a decision was ar rived at to procure a siren whistle which will be sounded only in case of fire, so that on hearing it, the people will entertain no delusions as to the reason for sounding it.
 A simple system of gongs will also be installed; these gongs will be placed at the fire hall. power plant, telephone exchange and the dormitory occupied by the volunteer firemen. who will be named later. The gongs will sound simultaneously On hearing the gong. the fireman on duty will sound a general alarm by sounding several short blasts on the power plant whistle. followed immediately after by the signal that will indicate the district in which the fire occurs. When the siren has been installed he will sound it on hearing the gong. For the pres ent time. it has been decided to di- vide Nenana into two districts only, viz: the Commission reserve and the town proper The signals for these two districts will be decided on later and due notification of them will be given.
 MT. Browne is very enthusiastic about the fire protection scheme, and is very anxious to inaugurate the best and most efficient service possible, and with this object in view will name a sufficient number of the Commission employees who will be members of the Commission fire department. They will all be occupants of one of the Commission dormitories and will receive a slight addition to their salaries, in addition to which their room rent will be remitted
 The city fire department will CO., operate with the Commission force at all times and with the installing of the gong system. the response of both the city and Commission departmets will be simultaneous at any future fires. The city depart ment is now equipped with an up- to-date hose-cart, which carries a very considerable length of hose.
 Steps are now being taken for procuring a siren whistle and the new system will be installed and put into effect as soon as possible. The general public will be duly notified reoardinu any chances etc

Chairman Ordway Fuller, OF the

yesterday that while he had called

citizens and a delegation from High
land Springs asking that the city de-
cline to allow the Seven Pines line to
uBe the streets of the city. unless
there is exacted an interchange Of
transfers between the interurban
iines.
AT the last meeting of the commit
tee a large delegation OF citizens, rep
resenting all sections OF the East Fad
was on hand to protest. Raleigh PHIL
lips was present as counsel for the
East Enders. and suggested that
date be flxed within the next thirty
days for public hearing on the ques-
ton, The committee held no official
session, because quorum failed to
APPEAR but sub-Chairman w. f. SulH-
van stated that the committee at It's
next meeting would probably agree
with Mr. Phillips that such a public
meeting should be held, so that all In
terested citizens might appear and ex-
press their views.
The railroad company Ia asking that
in the transfer of franchise from the

ganized Richmond and Seven Pines

far as the transfer concerned the citi-
gems residing within the corporate
limits. and would not insist that per
sons living beyond the line be given
